Went to see the dinosaur exhibit! It was dope, super entertaining for children. There's a ton of stuff to see and a lot of information and activities. Plus. The dinosaurs look great! Come early though because the line to get in is slow and long. Parking is $5 and in addition to purchasing entrance to the museum, there's an additional $4.95 for the dinosaurs. Must be fully vaxxed.
What an amazing museum. Tons of informative exhibits about the history oh the Hawai'ian people and their lifestyle. I learned about their tools, clothing, societal structure, and oral traditions. My favorite part of the museum is that the museum itself is historical! Give yourself like 2-3 hours to give this museum the proper amount of time. The kids museum was also a lot of fun even for adults!
It's been years since my last visit but always a great place to revisit Hawaiian history and culture. We also came to see the Pow Wow Hawaii exhibit which was great seeing art from so many artists.
It was my first time visiting the island of Oahu and I am so glad I visited the Bishop Museum. This place is top notch!
The history, and the way it's presented makes for a interactive, interesting experience. I learned to much and felt a connection to it. I will surely be visiting again the next time I go to Oahu.
We love this place so much! All of the exhibits and areas are beautiful and very moving. Of course the kids absolute favorite is the science area. It's so fun... it's like going through the top, middle and abyss levels of Hawai'i. Totally fun... awesome for adults and kids and the souvenir shop is phenomenal!
This museum has a lot to offer. We learned a lot of things we didn't know! If you want to absorb all there is to offer, you will need the full day. The contemporary graffiti exhibit was amazing! When we were there in August 2021 they had staff cleaning even during operating hours and sold a limited number of tickets each day. You will need to schedule and buy in advance.
This place was amazing! It's such a unique experience rich with history, culture, art, and science. It was so edifying and so much fun!
Great museum and would highly recommend to everyone visiting Honolulu. This was recommended to us by a friend as somehow most guides I've read online didn't even mention this museum. Turns out to be one of the highlight of our visit to Oahu island. Museum has tons of Hawaiian and other Pacific islands historical pieces, artifacts, stories, etc. The main hall of the museum is breathtaking. It's very clean and very well maintained.
Awesome place for the kiddos to run around. If you are a resident you get special pricing.
Love this museum! We have a membership and I m so grateful to be able to come and go to check out the exhibits. Put this museum on your must see for amazing Hawaii history and features of local artistry.
Update: the powwow exhibit has closed but now they have DINOSAURS on display until January 2022. Go check it out!
