Golden Age Passport

[JB]

There are advantages to getting old (beside the advantage of avoiding the alternative).

Several years ago I bought this Golden Age Passport at some National Park (don't remember which) which provides lifetime admission to National Parks and other facilities administered by the Dept. of the Interior.

So far it has saved me several hundred bux.

My question: Will it get me and the LOML in to the USS Arizona/ USS Missouri facility in Pearl Harbor? Is that part of the National Park System?

We are going to be there in October and don't want to pay the nearly $70 per person fee for the organized tour from our hotel.

We will have a car and can drive to Pearl Harbor. We are determined to go there, but on our own schedule, and we intend to stay as long as we like, which may be a long time. We may even go back several times.

Thanks for any input.

Re: Golden Age Passport

my moms got one and loves it, my sister has one due to her sons severe disability and they use it monthly.
that passport thing is a good deal.
I hope I can get one in a few years . but I am in no rush.
someplace my sister found a website for the rules governing the handicapped and golden age passports.
according to the USS Arizona web site its a national park.
you should be good to go.
i will make it soon.

Re: Golden Age Passport

If I am not mistaken, bad memory here, admission is free. The $70 would be for a bus ride there and a guided tour.
There are other tours going on a regular basis. Or you can rent a "walking tour", basically a walkman that you listen to and follow a set path around the area.

The guided tour may get you into parts of the ship that most others can't get to.

No matter which way you go, it is well worth it.
