Strollers
Strollers are allowed in the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, but not in the theaters or on shuttle boats to the USS Arizona Memorial.

There are no doctors or nurses on-site. EMS is available and a hospital is nearby. The park is in ADA compliance and handicap accessible.

In addition, please let a park ranger know if you have any special needs.

Walking the distance between facilities can be challenging for visitors with mobility issues, although there are several benches located throughout the visitor center to facilitate rest opportunities. Please note: The visitor center does not offer wheelchairs, except in emergency situations.
