Pearl Harbor National Memorial

USS Arizona Memorial Preservation

As of July 9th, the National Park Service temporarily suspended 56-day advance reservations for USS Arizona Memorial tours due to ongoing preservation work. Good news as of September 8th, advance reservations can now be booked beginning November 1st.

For day of reservations, please visit our Pacific Historic Parks Audio Tour Desk to join the Arizona Memorial Virtual Standby Queue. This service is free and allows guests who don't have advance reservations to visit the USS Arizona Memorial when available.

National Park Service Pearl Harbor Rack Cards

NPS Rack Cards not only provide valuable Park information, but they are fun collectibles. Please ensure ALL park visitors have access to this important resource by picking up your copies directly from the Pacific Historic Parks Desk. Please DO NOT take rack cards from the National Park Services Information Booth going forward.


Thank you for your attention to this NPS request, and we look forward to greeting you and your guests at the PHP Tour Desk where you can pick up your collectible Rack Cards, Narrated Audio Tours, Virtual Reality Experiences and join the Arizona Memorial Standby Queue.
