Amazing to stand in the place where so much has happened thru out history. Hearing the stores and learning the background of it all by our knowledgeable tour guide was a fantastic experience!

Axel Stevens

The museum has many great aircraft from ww2 and the cold war. They also have a great flight simulator experience for $10. Experience about 30 mins of pacific war aerial combat .

If you have never been to an aviation museum it will be a good trip. We thought it’s a little small for the prize but the displays and stories behind the Pearl Harbor planes were really nice.

Priya Tungrus

Small compared to museums of similar nature in other parts of the US. Be aware of mosquitos/midges in the hanger - we got eaten alive within 5 minutes.

Edward Philipp

This is a great air museum with US, Japanese, and Russian aircraft in 2 hangers . One has diaramas, the other is planes and active restorati

The "gem" of the entire aircraft collection is the Mitsubishi designed, Nakajima built A6M2-21 Zero. It has been restored to represent one of the Zero aircraft that attacked Pearl Harbor.

Whether you're an aviation, history, or "I like to see cool things" buff, you won't want to miss the Pacific Aviation Museum on your visit to Pearl Harbor. A great experience!!

Mahi Mahi garlic fish is always the best choice.... You may even see a war vet????

Spend some time with a tour guide (orange shirts ). They really know their stuff. Make sure and take a picture with Kramer, the guest star on Ghost Adventures.

If the Biggest Little Air Show is taking place, go check it out. Awesome RC aircraft, entertainment and food. And all for free!! Great for the family.

Rex Wui

Go here first thing in the morning while everyone is crowding the Arizona Memorial and Mighty 'Mo. Then when everyone is at the Aviation Museum , do the opposite!

Jeff Logan

Take the Aviator's Tour ! It will get you a guided tour of the ENTIRE Two hangars of the Museum 37 & 79, over 20 aircraft . Also I saw the original bullet holes in the windows from the Dec. 7 attack Read more

Those zeros didn't stand a chance!

Christopher Doorley

If you're a fan of aviation and consider the Air & Space a shrine , you'll probably be disapointed with the PAM. It's nice, but very small.

Damien Donnelly

Don't get the flight simulator , it is rubbish

Héctor Templeton

Bonito pero muy sencillo.
