A visit to the USS Arizona Memorial is a solemn and sobering experience, even for those who were not alive when the attack occurred.

The Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, part of the Pearl Harbor National Memorial, is the primary portal for visitors coming to Pearl Harbor. It is open daily from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. Interpretive programs available include a round trip boat trip to the USS Arizona Memorial and time spent on the memorial for reflection and contemplation. USS Arizona Memorial programs run frequently throughout each day. The visitor center is closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day.

Parking at the visitor center is $7/day. This payment is collected through a virtual pay system on visitors’ mobile devices or via an onsite kiosk (this fee cannot be paid through recreation.gov).

The visitor center is the gateway for visitors to expand their knowledge of World War II and the Pacific Theater by visiting neighboring independent historic sites: Pacific Fleet Submarine Museum , Battleship Missouri Memorial , and Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum . Ticketing and tour information for these sites can be found at the Passport to Pearl Harbor Historic Sites page.
