Walk the Deck of the USS Arizona Virtual Reality Experience

Step aboard the legendary USS Arizona without leaving dry land through this remarkable Walk the Deck of the USS Arizona Virtual Reality Experience in Honolulu. Located at Pearl Harbor Visitor Center's Virtual Reality Theater, this 10-minute journey transports you back to December 6, 1941—just hours before the attack that changed everything.

Using cutting-edge VR technology, you'll explore the battleship's deck in full 360-degrees, experiencing what daily life was like for the sailors who called her home. It's one of five exclusive virtual reality experiences available at Pearl Harbor, with each session accommodating up to 30 visitors for an intimate encounter with history.

The experience operates independently from USS Arizona Memorial tours, so you won't need advance reservation tickets for the memorial itself. However, many visitors combine this Walk the Deck of the USS Arizona Virtual Reality Experience Honolulu with the standby queue for the memorial or pair it with the Official Multimedia Tour for a comprehensive Pearl Harbor visit.

Getting started is straightforward—simply check in at the Virtual Reality Theater when you arrive at the visitor center. The dedicated theater facility provides an immersive setting where historical context comes alive through innovative technology, offering unprecedented access to explore this iconic vessel as it once stood.

Sessions fill up quickly since group sizes max out at 30 participants. If you need to cancel, full refunds are available for cancellations made more than 24 hours in advance through tours@pacifichistoricparks.org, where rebooking requests are also handled.

After your virtual journey through history, browse the Pacific Historic Parks Bookstore for exclusive memorabilia. You'll find everything from USA flags actually flown at the USS Arizona Memorial to books, shirts, and collectibles that help preserve the memory of this pivotal moment in American history.
