Other Nearby Facilities:

You may wish to consider combining our tour with those of the Arizona Memorial and the Battleship Missouri. The Arizona Memorial is free (tax supported), but there is a charge for the Missouri tour, which is operated, as we are, by a private, non-profit group. Presently, tickets for the Missouri tours are sold at Bowfin Park. Subject to change, the rates are:
• $20 for a combined Bowfin-Missouri unguided tour (adult)
• $16 for an unguided tour of Missouri (adult)
• $10 for a combined Bowfin-Missouri unguided tour (child)
• $8 for an unguided tour of Missouri (child)
• $10 for an unguided tour of Missouri (adult - military with ID)
• $5 for an unguided tour of Missouri (child - military parent with ID)

For a guided tour of USS Missouri - "The Chief's Guided Tour" - add an additional $6.00 per person (both child and adult, all categories).

If you plan to visit all three of our facilities, please allow at least one-half day for the complete Pearl Harbor experience. Tours of each facility require approximately 90 minutes. You may wish to allot some additional time to rest between tours, and to visit our gift shops.
