Q&A

Q: Is the virtual reality experience suitable for kids? What's the age limit?

A: The USS Arizona Virtual Reality Experience is generally suitable for kids ages 10 and up, but it really depends on the child's comfort with VR technology. Just keep in mind that younger kids might need more guidance to use the headset. It's a great educational experience, so if they’re interested in history or technology, they’ll probably love it!

Q: Do you need to reserve the boat ticket before doing the VR experience?

A: Yes, you need to reserve your boat ticket to the USS Arizona Memorial separately. The VR experience is cool by itself, but if you want to see the actual site afterward, definitely book that ticket in advance. It's only a $1 reservation fee, so it’s worth it to avoid disappointment!

Q: What's the weather like during the virtual reality experience? Will it matter?

A: The VR experience is indoors, so weather won’t affect it. You can enjoy it rain or shine! Just make sure to check the weather for your boat trip to the memorial if you plan to go there afterward. Oahu can have sudden rain, so always good to be prepared.

Just experienced the USS Arizona VR tour - totally worth it!

I went to the USS Arizona Virtual Reality Experience last week while visiting Oahu, and it was amazing! The VR tech was super immersive, letting me dive underwater and see the memorial like never before. I went to the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center afterward and reserved my boat ticket ahead—so glad I did! The whole experience is free, but you'll definitely want to check out the memorial in person after! Highly recommend for history buffs.

Thinking of gifting the USS Arizona VR experience, any thoughts?

I’m considering this virtual reality experience as a gift for my dad, who loves history. He’s a bit hesitant about VR tech, though. Do you think it’s easy to use? Any tips for first-timers? I want him to have a good time without feeling overwhelmed!
