Thank you for your service! Purchasing tickets online you will pay a "convenience fee" as the tickets themselves are free. We used lyft while in the island and had a great experience - cheaper too! The park is very accessible to everyone and easy to navigate. I recommend seeing the exhibits first before the boat ride to the memorial. Incredibly moving and emotional experience. I hope you find it as amazing as we did!

Yes, you can. It must be completely clear plastic. There were several women in our small tour group that had something similar to a clear plastic "toiletry kit" bag for their wallet, phone, etc.

The website show that the boats are not running to the actual memorial. The park is open, the museums are open but you will not be able visit the USS Arizona. The website does not state why the boats aren't running. I suggest that you call. Here is the number 808 422-3399.

I checked the Pearl Harbor (nps.gov) website and it appears things continue to be open. I would note that if you get tickets at the Memorial site, they are frequently less expensive than getting them through other venues. You can also buy "packages" at the site as well since there are other things to see (e.g. USS Missouri, a submarine, etc.)

We took the guide tour, and loved it. No experience with the self guided audio tour.

Yes no problem

The memorial is now back open!!

If you go to this Park site, the Pearl Harbor National Parks site. It give you all the information you may need. They suggest arrive at 7:00 am to get the free tickets.. They give out about 1300 a day. This is a first come, first served. As of today, June 26, 2019 they shoe that the Memorial is still closed for repairs. But the rest of the Pearl harbor Park is open.

I believe the Park opens at 07:00 so I would imagine anytime from then onwards. It is also likely not to be as busy. Remember also tickets to the Memorial is free as is access to I think two musings located inside the visitor centre. I hope that helps.
