Zo237. Just outside and inside the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center gate are information plaques or signs as to what and how to see them. If you have a car, no problem, lock them up in there. If you don’t have a car you only got this choice or cancel your visit.

Zo236. One of 3 images about the ticket offices at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, part of the Pearl Harbor National Memorial. This is the right ticket office or booth for the Battleship USS Missouri Memorial, the USS Bowfin submarine Museum and the Pacific Aviation Museum, all three cost money and two need additional bus shuttle fees. For the two locations on Ford Island one has to use the organized shuttle trip and stay within the limits of museum and memorial less you hold a Military ID.

Zo235. One of 3 images about the ticket offices at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, part of the Pearl Harbor National Memorial. This is the center office or booth for the free USS Arizona, -Oklahoma and the USS Utah Memorial but I believe you have to pay for the bus shuttle service to Ford Island. The boat service to the Arizona Memorial is free; it is provided by the U.S. Navy. I walked to Ford Island via the new Bridge.

Zo234. One of 3 images about the ticket offices at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, part of the Pearl Harbor National Memorial. This is the left ticket office or booth for the Narrated (Audio) Tour for the USS Arizona Memorial including the exhibit places at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. It costs $ 7.50.

Zo242. I bought this book at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center book and souvenir shop, I found it fascinating that two out of three Japanese-Americans on Niihau took the side of the landed Japanese Pilot. I read and heard about the Niihau incident! As a German immigrant I wonder about this subject of aliens helping the invading force of the same nationality. We know many Japanese Americans and also German and Italian Americans were held in custody in the US because of that fear. Living in the Philippines, aware of the WWII history there and I have read many times in books about Japanese Filipinos became Japanese Imperial Officer or served the Japanese Occupying Forces in other ways. I’m wondering!
