• Parking

  Parking is available for a fee at the Pearl Harbor National Memorial Visitor Center. Please plan for traffic and allow time to find parking as the lots get full during peak visitation. Taxi cabs and ride share companies must follow parking lot signage, as well as all pick up and drop off protocols. All venues are accessed through the Visitor Center, either by a short walk or via a free shuttle bus.

• Accessibility

  The Pearl Harbor Historic Sites welcome its visitors with disabilities. All the sites are mostly wheelchair accessible except for the Bowfin Submarine and portions of the Battleship Missouri. Chairs and benches are located throughout the venues to allow people to sit and rest.  

  Visitors that are visually challenged and accompanied by a friend or family member may successfully navigate all venues. Escorts will need to warn the visitor of toe-stubbers, knee-knockers and head bangers found throughout the ship and submarine. A little prudence and caution will make for an easy time onboard for everyone.
