Pearl Harbor: USS Arizona VR Experience Today
15
Overview
Explore the USS Arizona Today Virtual Reality Experience, located at Pearl Harbor. This experience offers a powerful and immersive way to connect with history. Using state-of-the-art virtual reality, guests can dive beneath the surface and witness the USS Arizona as it rests today. Very few have the opportunity to see this hallowed site, making this experience truly unique.
The Pearl Harbor Virtual Reality Theater brings history to life, allowing visitors to see the 608-foot-long battleship up close.

Guests are encouraged to reserve their boat tickets in advance at recreation.gov (a $1 reservation fee applies per ticket) or join the free USS Arizona Memorial Standby Queue upon arrival at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center.
