Please keep in mind that there are no doctors or nurses on-site, but EMS is available and there is a nearby hospital. Pearl Harbor is fully accessible to those with disabilities; more information may be found below.

Restrictions

Security Measures
Pearl Harbor is still an active military installation, and as such there are strict security measures prohibiting purses, handbags, fanny packs, backpacks, camera bags, diaper bags, luggage and/or other items that offer concealment. If you should need to bring these items with you, a secure storage facility is available for use at the entrance to the USS Bowfin Submarine Park for a charge of $3 per item. The storage facility operates daily 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Age Restrictions
There are no age restrictions at Pearl Harbor.

Civilian Dress Attire
There is no dress code at Pearl Harbor, but visitors should keep in mind that this is a site where many lives were lost in service to the United States. Sandals are permissible; however wearing bathing suits or profane T-shirts is very much discouraged.

Military Dress Attire
Military visitors should be aware that they will be within the boundary of Pearl Harbor Naval Station. Navy regulations relating to military dress are enforced by navy personnel. Battle dress uniform is not allowed on the USS Arizona Memorial, so visitors to this site should wear dress whites or better (or service equivalent) in order gain access to the shuttle boats to the USS Arizona Memorial. Battle dress uniform is allowed throughout the visitor center and at sites on Ford Island.

Animals and Pets
Pets are not permitted at Pearl Harbor. If you have a special need for a service animal, they will be allowed.
