tickets for pearl harbor

Where do I reserve the USS Memorial at Pearl Harbor? We don't need to do a tour.

Thanks

Visiting the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor is free, but tickets are required to access the memorial. Since you don’t need a full tour and just want to reserve access to the memorial, you have a few options for securing your tickets.

Here’s how it works:

  • Online Reservation: You can reserve timed-entry tickets through the official National Park Service website for Pearl Harbor. This ensures you get a specific time slot to visit the memorial without waiting in line.
  • In-Person Tickets: Tickets are also available on a first-come, first-served basis at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. However, during peak tourist seasons, these can sell out early in the morning.
  • Authorized Tour Operators: Even if you don’t want a full guided tour, some authorized operators can reserve USS Arizona Memorial tickets for you as part of a self-guided visit package. This can be convenient if you want to avoid any potential long waits.

Additional tips:

  • Arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled time for security screening and boarding the shuttle boat to the memorial.
  • Tickets are date and time-specific, so plan your day around your reservation.
  • Photography is allowed on the memorial, but tripods and selfie sticks may have restrictions.

It’s recommended to book online in advance, especially if visiting during peak tourist months or around holidays. This guarantees your access to the USS Arizona Memorial without the stress of arriving early or risking a sold-out time slot.
