Seasons
The Pearl Harbor National Memorial is the portal for all visitors to Pearl Harbor. It consistently ranks among the top three most heavily-visited tourist destinations in the State of Hawai'i. Visitors should expect heavy visitation throughout the year, but our busiest seasons are summertime, winter holidays, and spring break. During these times, we often run out of tickets by mid-morning, so reservations are recommended.
