One of the best places on O’ahu to learn about the cultural & environmental history of Hawai’i. They also host private events for different size groups.

Best Cultural Museum in the state . A must do visit for visitors and locals alike. Worth visiting over and over. Great traveling and family exhibits and experiences.

the staff and volunteer docents are great - Joanne in the planetarium shows and Bill who is a 5yr volunteer who has passion for the history. all worth the cost!!

Glenn Newcomer

So much knowledge ! So many artifacts and super easy to contextualize with great writing. Look at this whale! 🐋

The Hawaii hall and Pacific Hall are very nice and very informative. Especially if one isn't familiar with the history of the islands . The rest of the museum is a bit dated and caters more to kids

Scott Hegyes

Not happy you have to pay for parking , but overall, the museum is a great preservation of Hawaiian history and culture contained in beautiful buildings.

Ed Dennis

Take your time here. There is so much to see. Get on a tour with a volunteer - they are good and worth the wait.

Maggie MacG

This is a very impressive museum . I love this place and learned so much about local and state history.

Just like with space, we still have so much to learn about the oceans that cover our planet. The Natural Sciences collection features more than 22 million plant & animal items from HI & Pacific Ocean. Read more

Easy to access by bus and worth the visit!

Hawaii is so much more than sand, surf and sun. Take your time through the exhibits and learn about Hawaii's rich culture , history and native people.

If you can do them the Behind the Scenes Tours can show you the hidden treasures of the Bishop.

Sunday afternoons are good times to go to avoid the crowds

Mel Chang

Best seats are middle row middle seats. Not too close to the wall and not to close to the ball.

Cil Felps

Catch the #2 bus only. Don't get stuck on the freeway
