Pearl Harbor

Tours & Tickets

Entrance to Pearl Harbour is free and so are tickets to the Arizona Memorial. There are other paid activities and tours however, so here’s a guide explaining everything you need to know about getting tickets and visiting Pearl Harbour.

Walk-in Tickets

Every day Pearl Harbour releases 1,300 free walk-in tickets to the Arizona Memorial upon opening at 7 a.m. on a first come first serve basis.

To get these free tickets, you must get to Pearl Harbour early, say around 6 a.m., wait in line, and upon entering Pearl Harbour’s main entrance you’ll go straight ahead to the ticket desks directly in front of you.

Your ticket will have an assigned time, and 15 minutes before your time you’ll need to wait at the designated area.
