USS Arizona Deluxe Tour

Highlights

Description

The USS Arizona Deluxe Tour is the most engaging way to explore the Pearl Harbor National Memorial in a compact visit. At check-in, you’ll receive a smartphone guide (with headset) to navigate the Visitor Center at your own pace. Narration by Jamie Lee Curtis joins voices from Pearl Harbor survivors and National Park Service historians, leading you through the *Road to War* and *Attack* galleries and along the shoreline’s Path of Attack. With the Deluxe package, you also unlock exclusive access to the National Park Service’s WWII digital archives—rare footage and interpretive materials that place you inside the decisions, timelines, and human stories behind the attack. nnYour ticket further includes admission to the Pearl Harbor Virtual Reality Center. In these concise 360° sessions, you’ll experience historically grounded recreations that add emotion and context to what you’ve just learned in the galleries. The self-guided format means you can linger where interest strikes, pause for reflection, or move quickly if you’re short on time. While Navy boat tickets to the USS Arizona Memorial are reserved separately, this Deluxe combo stands on its own as a complete, moving introduction to the site. It’s ideal for first-time visitors, families, and anyone who wants more than a quick photo—without committing an entire day.
