This is the definitive Hawaii museum with glimpses of Hawaiian life and culture.
I went to the Bishop Museum by bus one day when my husband was busy at a convention. Boy, was I glad I did! The museum itself has lots of interesting exhibits but what really made it come alive for me were the 25-minute presentations offered every half hour by docents and staff.

Great place to vist if you actually want to learn about the culture of Hawaii. My boys 9 and 11 really enjoyed it considering its a museum and hard to hold theyre attention.
Paid $17.50 each. Museum in different buildings, excellent presentations put on, great one about the hula, another about the types of volcanoes, where the presenter actually melts rock. Main building has great displays on history of the islands
Great exhibit of Polynesian culture. Good for a rainy day. Good story-tellers. Possible to get their by city transit, but the bus stop is a block or so from the entrance.
Every display in the museum was spectacular. It takes one back in time/history of the Islands from when there was Kings/Princesses and the History of Hawaii. There wasn't one thing anyone could dislike. Higly recommend. Aloha and enjoy
Although the planetarium was closed while we were there, there is much to see. With the new addition of the Science building with interactive exhibits, there is plenty for the entire family to do. The kids will love the Science building.
Excellent for anthropologists. They also have fun activities for families. The planetarium show is to die for.
So much history to absorb. Take a free class that the museum offers throughout the year. The grounds were well taken care of and beautiful. A must see when on Oahu.
My grandchildren love to go here and walk through the various museum buildings.
