Accessibility to Persons with Disabilities
The Battleship Missouri Memorial welcomes its visitors with disabilities. There is a wheelchair accessible ramp on the aft entry Brow to provide access to the battleship.Our staff will be more than happy to assist visitors with accessibility concerns. Accessible restrooms are available at the aft Brow and before the entry gate.
There is an elevator that can take visitors with disabilities up to the Surrender Deck to hear the Surrender story and see artifacts.
Chairs and benches around the ship allow people to sit and rest. Please remember that ladders and stairs are steep, making handholds difficult for visitors.
Service animals are welcome aboard the Missouri, although it is unlikely that they can negotiate the steep ladders.
Wheelchair or walker access
The Battleship Missouri Memorial has wheelchairs available for visitors to check out at the main entrance. Please speak with a staff member for assistance.
There is an elevator on the ship, providing accessibility beyond the Main Deck, and the Surrender Deck is possible for wheelchairs and walkers. Ladders (stairs) are steep, and handholds are more difficult to use.
On the pier, Slider’s Grill and The Battleshop are both accessible to wheelchairs and walkers.
Hearing-impaired visitors
With advance notice, the Missouri ticket office can arrange for a sign language translator through the Hawaii Office of Accessibility and Communication. Please contact us at (808) 455-1600 at least two weeks before your visit. Arranging for a sign language specialist can take up to ten days.
Visually-impaired visitors
Visitors with visual impairments, accompanied by a friend or family member, can easily navigate the ship with a bit of caution. However, there are a few potential obstacles to be mindful of, such as low steps, narrow spaces, and low-hanging objects. Escorts should be vigilant and help guide guests around these hazards to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for everyone onboard.
