Serving You, The Visitor
To Historic Pearl Harbor...
Ho'okipa Hawaiian Style!
(Old-Fashioned Hawaiian Hospitality)
When the venerable old Ford Island ferries finally gave up their vehicles and passengers to the Admiral Cleary Causeway, the Halawa Landing - sandwiched between the USS Arizona Visitor Center and the USS Bowfin Submarine Memorial and Museum - degenerated into a shabby, unkempt parking lot with scattered trash and broken glass. But that was then, and today’s lunchtime crowds of USS Arizona, USS Bowfin, USS Missouri and Pacific Aviation Museum visitors packed into the Pearl Harbor Visitors Center (PHVC) have no clue they are standing exactly where the cars and trucks used to que up for the ferry...

On
Monday morning, 14 November 2005, a group
of dedicated and patriotic Americans, all veterans and
many of them former Marines, gathered at Pearl Harbor, overlooking the
USS ARIZONA Memorial, to dedicate
a new Flagstaff and display of bronze plaques
commemorating the 73 gallant U.S. Marines who gave their
lives for their country, and 15 of their shipmates who survived the attack
on the battleship USS ARIZONA in
Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941.
| Introducing the first hospitality center for visitors of historic Pearl Harbor, home of the ARIZONA Memorial, USS BOWFIN Submarine Museum, and the Battleship USS MISSOURI. We are your HQ with a healthy variety of food and refreshments, respite from the weather while waiting for the Arizona ferry, the Mighty Mo Trolley to Ford Island, and after visiting the USS BOWFIN gift shop.

"Wow, what a difference at Pearl Harbor! It's been a few years since I have taken visitors to the USS Arizona and the USS Missouri. I would also take them to Pearlridge for a nice lunch. The Pearl Harbor Visitor Center is a wonderful surprise. We can take our time to have an excellent lunch, see the shops, get out of the sun and rest and relax and have cold drinks and ice cream. They truly have the welfare of the tourists in mind. I had read some negative comments in the paper, but I saw nothing negative there. The employees were happy and helpful. A definite improvement to the entire complex." PATTI KAONOHI - Nov. 10, 2006 - Honolulu Advertiser "I wanted to say that I am glad the Visitors Center is now in place. Last time I came there, none was in place. A good place to enjoy a quick breakfast and relaxing location. Thank you for taking the pictures and putting them on the website of my daughter and myself taking a break for a mini picnic on 12 Dec 05. Happy Holidays." TAMMY ROCHE - Edison, NJ "We should be pleased and proud to see that the thousands and thousands of visitors to the Arizona and Bowfin will finally be treated as welcome guests while they endure the long waits." BECKY TILLERY - Hawaii Business Woman and daughter of WWII veteran "The Pearl Harbor Visitor Center provides a much needed place for the millions of visitors each year, a place to relax and take shelter while they wait their turn to visit the memorials." ROBERT W. HOLUB - USMC (Retired) "I was told the new Visitor Center was not a good idea: After one visit I now believe it is much needed." VISITOR - US Mainland "The Pearl Harbor Visitor Center fulfills a longstanding need for the millions of Americans and International Visitors to Pearl Harbor. Guests now appreciate a comfortable place to sit down, rest and reflect on the historical significance of the site. It also provides a welcome respite from the hot sun and rain." GLEN F. TOMLINSON - President, The Tomlinson Corporation
