Get the Deluxe Combo Tour and Save – Explore This Important Piece of WWII History
The USS Arizona Memorial is the number one visited destination in Hawaii. Millions of visitors from all over the world come to this majestic setting every year to see for themselves where World War II began for the United States on December 7, 1941.
Since there are no guided tours available at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, the National Park Service’s USS Arizona Memorial Deluxe Tour is the best way to learn about this historic site. This incredible package includes the use of smartphones/headsets with audio narration upon check-in.
Jamie Lee Curtis guides you through the Visitor Center’s two world-class museums, with narration aboard the Memorial and throughout the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. Hear first-hand accounts from actual USS Arizona and Pearl Harbor survivors as they tell their stories and retrace the events of December 7.
The Deluxe Tour is the only one that allows you exclusive access, via smartphone, to the National Park Service World War II archives and videos about the attack at Pearl Harbor.
