Pearl Harbor National Memorial is a National Park Service site on Oʻahu; its visitor center has two museums, a 23-minute park film and a bookstore, and is open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily except Thanksgiving, December 25 and January 1. The National Park Service charges nothing for the museums or the USS Arizona Memorial program, a U.S. Navy boat trip of about 45 minutes with 10 to 15 minutes at the memorial; reservations are made through recreation.gov, which adds a $1* non-refundable fee per ticket, and tickets are released at 3 p.m. Hawaii time 24 hours and 8 weeks ahead. A free standby callback is available for visitors without a reservation, but seats are not guaranteed. Parking is $7* per day, and bags larger than 1.25 by 2.25 by 5.5 inches are not allowed (clear bags and small wallets are), with paid bag storage near the visitor center entrance.
*Fees subject to change, please check nps.gov for updated information.
