    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.

    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!!

    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

    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.

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

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

    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

    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.

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