A great place to learn about the history and culture of Hawaii. The main mansion has several exhibitions which covers a great range of topics such as modern histories, culture, and religion of Hawaii. I recommend allocate a few hours as there are so many things to see and learn (we couldn’t see everything in ~1.5 hours and they close at 5). There’s also another building for special exhibitions, a native Hawaii plant garden, and a building for Hawaiian science. You do have to pay for parking though. You can purchase tickets onsite.
If you are interested in the history of Hawaii and how it developed as a country and then became our 50th State you will love touring the museum. They have great children’s activities, a beautiful gift shop as well as a wonderful restaurant.
There are very few museums that I've visited that are so intimate and beautifully crafted, a work of art in and of itself. Bishop Museum shows the love (aloha!) that went into its conception and development over the decades. The original building was built from the (now rare) kōa tree and many of the displays have been part of the collection for well over 100 years.
This is a great stop if you want to jump in and learn about Hawaiian culture and arts, most of which are housed in gorgeous handmade wood cases.
The front desk says it takes 2-3 hours to get through the museum, but we like to linger and could have easily spent 3+ hours.
The gift shop is lovely, with price ranges for all levels, though it tends toward the higher end--typical for a museum gift shop.
Best for teens and adults. Children could be very disruptive in the original museum portion.
Exceptional collection as an anthropology museum for Hawaii. You learn about all their historical crafts (making mats, baskets, carving woods and gourds...), agriculture, games, religion... There is also a sizeable collection about the arts in Oceania (Maori...). Beautiful main building, takes about 90 - 120 mins to see these two collections. Then there are more buildings like the planetarium. It closes at 5 so plan accordingly.
Beautiful old well constructed building. Fascinating craftsmanship from the stone work to the interior woodwork. Very detailed descriptions, artifacts, and displays of Hawaiian and Polynesian culture and history.
This museum was a hidden gem. On our last day in Oahu we were looking for something indoors to do while we waited to catch our late flight out, this was the perfect spot to spend our last hours in Hawaii. There are a lot of hands on interactive displays for adults and children alike. There is a historical hall, science center, planetarium and outdoor exhibit. We enjoyed all of the galleries and learned a lot while having fun. At first glance it looks like a tiny place but don’t be fooled. There is a lot to see an do. Check this place out you will not regret it.
Always a fun educational experience. Had to show our keikis about their culture. There are so many artifacts and old photos in Hawaiian Hall. The other exhibit was about light and had a cute laser display. It's definitely worth a visit for tourists and locals. They do have specials on groupon sometimes. And Kama'aina and military get discounted admission.
I love History and if you are interested in the Hawaiian history, heritage/lineage of the Past Kings and Queens, it is a wonderful source of information and an enjoyable walk through the artifacts. There are 3 buildings we walked through. The Main Bishop Museum bldg, houses the Kings and Queens, along with the fisherman, lifestyle, and even surfing. Then there is a "Light" building, which I think has a Planetarium, and the last is the Science building. If you are local, be sure to check out the Kama'aina rate, which is $14.95.
I bring students to have an educational tour and experience mock trial here all the time. Ahukini Fuertes, the education specialist is a passionate staff who takes his time to answer any questions thoughtfully and honestly. He also helped us connect
The Hawaii Army Museum is a space that exhibits the history of the United States Army in Hawaii from the time the first American soldiers arrived in the islands to the Vietnam War.
The space dedicated to the Korean War was smaller than I expected. S

Ono, soo ono. If you enjoy the taste and feel of each bite in your mouth, this is the place for local, healthy, ono eats. Fresh every single time. This is the first time in my life that I have eaten at one restaurant three (3) times IN THE FIRST WEEK
I have been searching and searching for great biscuits and gravy like I used to get back in Texas, and OMG these were so so so so much better than that. Did something different and went with the chicken biscuits and gravy and was happily surprised at
Shoot was - as expected - amazing. Stunning mastery of technique, patter, and showmanship. Hilarious sense of humour, was great at working the crowd and had a lot of warmth and heart incorporated into his performance, and the story he told throughout
Incredible food not only for a food truck, but anywhere. We had the steak plate and the beef bowl. The meet was incredibly tender. The sides added, but didnât steal the show. I highly recommend.
This gluten free bakery was what dreams are made of. If youâre looking for sage gluten free (and some vegan) options too, I recommend getting out of Waikiki and stocking up here on your visit to Hawaii when you can. I brought my gluten free family
Le's Banh Mi in Honolulu, Hawaii is a hidden gem on the third floor of the 808 building. Their excellent Vietnamese sandwiches are a delight for banh mi lovers. The clean and welcoming balcony seating area adds to the experience. The Saigon style ban
I enjoy the yoga practice, 60 min bikram session is time effective for me, clean dressing rooms, showers, great smelling shampoo and conditioner âï¸easy to refill water bottle, all around great experience. Most importantly run by great people
Absolutely loved the hike steady climb Iâm a big guy and made it with no problems. Elderly people women holding babies even the show off running up and down the hill just do it and say you have done it!
The coffee shop was pretty good. We loved the ambiance and their specialty coffee's. They do have guest wifi and indoor seating if you want to work or have conversations!
We tried lavender latte with banana bread! Would definitely recommend checking
