ビショップ博物館一般入場券

The Bishop museum is huge, it can seem pretty overwhelming, but worth the visit. They have someone for everyone there, all age groups. Don't miss seeing a show at the planetarium, it was fascinating. We had lunch at the little cafe there and the food was very good. We spent hours there and still don't think we got to see everything.

Don't go on Wednesdays...the Planetarium and lava shows don't happen on Wednesdays. The museum is well done, thorough and very interesting. The Tiki had nice lunch options at an okay price. My one complaint is that the gift shop was taking inventory and thus, we could not shop. It was open when we arrived but no one told us, and there were no obvious signs, to indicate it would be closed in the afternoon.

Boring, absolutely bored! Worst part of trip. Do not bother going at all. Hated it. Never will go again.

I have been to this museum since I was a child, practically grew up in this place. It has grown, evolved to such an amazing place. Everyone should have Bishop museum on their to do list. From Kamaaina’s to All visitors- The best selection of Hawaiian books for adults and children. This is a place to be educated factually, not by a tour guide’s interpretation. Amazing artifacts- spend the day here. If you’re lucky to go here during events, hands down the experience has never ceases to amaze me. Iconic… unforgettable… Historic!

What a wonderful museum! The exhibits cover the history, culture, and nature of Hawaii. There are several separate buildings on the campus. I unfortunately missed the planetarium show, but I did visit the wayfinding exhibit in that building. It's really impressive how the Hawaiians developed navigation techniques to travel such vast distances over the ocean, relying only on what they could observe in the natural world. Hawaiian Hall and Pacific Hall are stunning. The aesthetics of the building interior on their own are beautiful. I love how the Hawaiian Hall was organized. One thing that was particularly creative and impactful was that they included a line from the native Hawaiian creation story on each of the display cases. It was a constant reminder that the Hawaiian culture was deep and flourishing well before European contact. The artifacts were varied and well-displayed. I found my visit to be very broadening. I knew nothing about native Hawaiian culture and history, and it really deepened my experience visiting the islands. I had a much greater appreciation for everything I visited and experienced after my time at the Bishop Museum. The Science Center was also interesting. Unlike the Hawaiian and Pacific Halls, the exhibits here are decidedly geared towards kids, but the signage contains a lot of information that is interesting to adults. I learned some interesting things about the evolution of endemic Hawaiian species, especially of birds. I also stopped by the visiting lego exhibit. It was spectacular. The theme was Hawaiian landmarks and nature. The creations were pretty amazing. The outdoor space is also really nice and perfect for a break. I visited the cafe on the grounds and got a rainbow shaved ice, which was excellent. They have a variety of items to choose from, including hot lunch items, snacks, and sweets. Don't miss this museum!

Beautiful facility with great information and artifacts telling the story of Hawaii and those who impacted the culture of the islands.

A good example of the history of Hawaii and it's people. Worth a visit to the planetarium and Tutu's place. You can take as long or as short as you like visiting the museum. Only issue is getting upand down the flights of stairs for each building and the exhibitions if you have sore knees or recent knee surgery.

The Bishop Museum is a must do for anyone seeking knowledge, history, and culture of Hawaii. During every early visit to Oahu, Honolulu, I or my wife and I make it a point to visit. This time I went solo. TripAdvisor indicates time visiting averages 2-3 hours. Depending what you want to learn, you could be there all day. During this visit, I met a docent named Mary. What a pleasure and wonderful lady. Hopefully you’ll meet her. What an incredible story how she arrived on the island, became a docent, and fell in love with the museum. Her story and love of baseball alone is worth an admission price. The grounds are impeccable. During this visit, I brought a small lunch, then just hung out eating lunch at a table, enjoyed the breeze and fresh air. Several people walked by and someone always said how lovely the grounds and museum was. You can further read about the museum and other places to visit on the grounds at their website. You can get to the museum on The Bus #2 and a straight shot 6 minute walk to the museum. If visiting Honolulu / Waikiki, there is more than the beach. Learn about the culture and history. And look for Mary.

Bishop Museum visit in Oahu 2-26. First time to the island, came to explore, love history and origin stories. Lots to see and read in this beautiful old set of buildings. Learned a lot about the early Polynesian culture that settled the Hawaiian islands and about the succession of royalty, the unity of the island chain and eventual sale to the US. Some of the exhibits had been pulled for repairs I assume, and one whole building with the art collection was closed when we were there in late Feb. Still got to see a lot: recommended if you’re into the history of things like we are.

So thorough, so much history we couldn't even finish it all. They showed so many interesting things, about Hawaiian culture and how it came to be.
