The National Park Service is launching its new reservation program for individuals and groups visiting Pearl Harbor.
Starting February 16, 2012, reservations for the USS Arizona Memorial tour will be available online at www.Recreation.gov.
The official USS Arizona Memorial audio tour and the new Passport to Pearl Harbor, which includes general admission to the Pacific Aviation Museum, the USS Bowfin and the USS Missouri, will also be available.
The NPS will continue to provide tickets on a first come/first served basis throughout the day for those that do not have reservations.
“For almost 32 years, tours to the USS Arizona Memorial have been offered on a first come, first served basis,” says Paul DePrey, Superintendent, for WWII Valor in the Pacific National Monument. “This new service will enhance the visitor experience by giving individuals and groups the option to make advance reservations for their visit to Pearl Harbor Historic Sites.”
Reservations can be made in a three month period with a non-refundable reservation fee of $1.50 per ticket.
Reservations and changes can be made via the www.Recreation.gov website or by calling 1-877-444-6777. Tour tickets must be picked up at the NPS ticket counter, located in the new Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, at least one hour before tour time. Individuals and families may reserve up to 9 tickets at a time and group reservations of up to 65 guests will also be available.
Visit www.Recreation.gov on February 16th to make reservations for tours starting on March 7th.
