Honolulu- Pearl Harbor National Memorial will collect a parking fee beginning Jan. 15, 2023 in line with the request for comment announcement made on July 30, 2021. Generated revenue would support the park’s recurring maintenance needs and upkeep on the USS Arizona Memorial as well as park sites on Ford Island, including the USS Utah, USS Oklahoma memorials, and historic Chief Petty Officer (CPO) Bungalows. This fee would also fund operation of the parking lots and enhance visitor services such as security, exhibits, and leveraging technology to better reach a more modern audience.
Parking fees at Pearl Harbor National Memorial will be $7/day. These fees were determined by cost comparison of other sites on Oahu and at other National Park Sites. In accordance with NPS public involvement guidelines, the park engaged numerous individuals, organizations, and local, state, and Federal government representatives while planning for the implementation of this fee.
Entrance into Pearl Harbor National Memorial and the USS Arizona Memorial program remains free.
This fee will be collected under the authority of Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA) which establishes fee collection on federal land. National Park Service sites collecting fees can retain 80% of those revenues to support projects that improve the visitor experience, the remainder is used for projects throughout the National Park Service. Additional details on how to pay the parking fee at Pearl Harbor National Memorial will be announced at a later date.
