Since 1916, the National Park Service has been entrusted with the care of our national parks. With the help of volunteers and partners, we safeguard these special places and share their stories with more than 275 million visitors every year. But our work doesn’t stop there.

We are proud that tribes, local governments, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and individual citizens ask for our help in revitalizing their communities, preserving local history, celebrating local heritage, and creating close to home opportunities for kids and families to get outside, be active, and have fun.

Taking care of the national parks and helping Americans take care of their communities is a job we love, and we need—and welcome—your help and support.

Our Mission

The National Park Service preserves unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. The Park Service cooperates with partners to extend the benefits of natural and cultural resource conservation and outdoor recreation throughout this country and the world.

About this location:

National Monument

Operating Hours and Seasons

The Pearl Harbor Visitor Center is part of WWII Valor in the Pacific National Monument, a National Park Service site. The visitor center is open seven days a week, from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and closed three days a year: Thanksgiving, December 25, and January 1. The visitor center consistently ranks among the top three most heavily-visited tourist destinations in Hawai’i. Visitors should expect heavy visitation throughout the year, but our busiest seasons are summer, winter holidays, and spring break. Daily visitation averages about 4,000 visitors, so reservations are recommended.

Fees and Passes

There is NO FEE for the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center or the USS Arizona Memorial program. Programs to the USS Arizona Memorial are operated by the National Park Service.

Tickets are required for the program. Visitors can either get walk-in tickets on the day of their visit (based on availability), or they can reserve online at www.recreation.gov.

Please note: The Senior National Park Pass is not needed for entrance, because there is no fee. You also cannot purchase a Senior Park Pass at WWII Valor in the Pacific National Monument. However, senior passes can be purchased online. Other annual passes can also be purchased online.
