Due to essential preservation work by the National Park Service and U.S. Navy, advance access to the USS Arizona Memorial will be suspended until November 1, 2025. Complimentary same-day tickets are available at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center on a first-come, first-served basis.

What This Means For Visitors

✅ The USS Arizona Memorial Is Open

Preservation work at the USS Arizona Memorial has been completed, and the Navy has resumed its regular boat service to the memorial.

From now until November 1, all access will be standby only. Complimentary same-day tickets are available at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center on a first-come, first-served basis.

✅ Pearl Harbor Remains Open

All other historic sites—including the Visitor Center, Battleship Missouri, USS Bowfin, Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, and Ford Island tours—remain open and fully operational.

❌ No Advance Tickets to the Arizona Memorial

During this preservation project:

  • No commercial operator (including us) can guarantee advance access to the memorial.

Will You Still See the USS Arizona?

Yes, on most days, you’ll still be able to view the USS Arizona from multiple vantage points at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. You’ll also watch the official documentary film and see exhibits that bring the story of the USS Arizona and December 7, 1941, to life.

 

Battleship Missouri general admission gives you access to a 35-minute guided tour of the last battleship ever built by the U.S. and also provides you with good unobstructed views of the USS Arizona.

 

With same-day standby tickets, you may also:

  • Board the Navy-operated boat for a harbor tour.
  • Tour the memorial.

We’ll do our best to keep you updated.
