This place is trying to establish itself as a quality stop . While they do have about a dozen planes, there is not much else to see. Had we not had a guided tour, the whole stop would have taken 30 minutes and been a disappointment. The guide made it as interesting as possible, but you really need to be... More

You kind of really need to be into the subject to appreciate this. I found it really difficult to relate to. Nice military men all around.

A must see. See the historical planes that fought during WWII and learn out their history. Situated on Ford Island in Pearl Harbor, the remnants of the bomb scarred buildings are still evident.

It takes a while to catch the shuttle bus that goes every 15 minutes. There is no bags or knapsacks allowed, you have to store them for a small fee of $2-3 at the front gate at the Pearl Harbor comples. Bus then takes you to Ford Island to the first static display museum. Great displays of WWII to Korea... More

When in Pearl Harbor, this is included with your fee to visit the USS Missouri Ship. Nice side trip after Missouri. There is a flight simulator you may try. You need about 30 minutes to see the place, and another 15 minutes if you like to use the simulator. There is a gift shop.

Not sure how these pieces of machinery stay in the air but this museum,and especially Hanger 79 were a personal favorite of the Perl Harbor WWII experience.

Once we got to the Museum we thought it was great and would highly recommend it. However, we had a heck of a time trying to get to the actual Museum. We purchased our tickets on-line thinking that we would save time as we had heard that Pearl Harbor can get quite crowded. When we got to the entrance the... More
