Located off an unassuming street in the heart of a local neighborhood, Bishop Museum is THE most comprehensive and accurate museum about Native Hawaiian and Pacific Oceania Island heritage in the world. It is also stunningly gorgeous, and creates a lovely restful change of pace while you are visiting Waikiki and Honolulu. Children will love the science center, where you can go inside a volcano! I highly recommend taking a half day of your Hawaii itinerary to visit; your trip will be so enriched by this cultural experience!

This is one of the best museums I've ever visited in my life. Top 5 for sure. Smithsonian quality exhibits and curated well.

The main hall is set up in a way that you get a well thought out take on Hawaiian culture and history.

The natural history side and planetarium tie it all together even further. If you're visiting or local, carve out half a day and visit.

It’s one of the best museums that I’ve visited! If you are interested in the history of Hawaii and Polynesian culture, this museum is a must visit! Plan half day for this visit if you want to read descriptions in detail. It’s near a bus stop and easy to find.

Hawaii

Bishop Museum is an incredible destination for anyone interested in Hawaiian culture, science, and history. However I'll be covering it from the perspective of an outdoor music festival. The museum's outdoor field provided a fantastic setting for some amazing live music, it was a treat! I may have been exposed to the elements and some sweet Hawaiian rain, but the field and backdrop of Honolulu made it alright. There was standing room, sitting room, blanket room and even more for concessions and drinks. There was enough space for a massive stage, endless food trucks and a giant merch stand. Even better was the availability of onsite parking. I enjoyed it. Overall it's a cool place.

I came here for the first time 15 years ago and it's still an excellent place to learn about traditional Hawaiian and Polynesian history and culture. They have a lot of artifacts, art and explain the beliefs. There's a lot on the royal family too. It is no longer free to park you have to pay $16 by smartphone. It's a little pricey at $38.95 per adult but helps to maintain this wonderful institution.

What an interesting museum. There were three main buildings designed for guest. 1 started with the science building... lots of interesting facts about local birds also using a volcano simulator. 2. Second active building was reptile & dinosaurs replicas. Nicely done, small but effective. 3. Third, was the main museum. They did a wonderful job on this one. It's full of interesting Hawain history and the different past rulers. Beautiful building full of fascinating information. I tagged onto a I assume docent led tour and it was jam packed with interesting tid bits. 4. Fourth, and last I paid extra $3 for a " Sea & earth" planetarium show. This one was a bit dry for me, but also interesting lesson on how to use the stars for navigation. It was very obvious that the employees have a passion for archeological learning. Insider tip.. you really need a seat in the back to see what's being shown clearly. Highly recommend the museum...definitely worth a few hours. They also have a kid friendly eatery for snacks and a break if needed. Also it is ADA friendly, if you ask they have an elevator.

We love learning about Hawaiian culture and this was a highly recommended spot during our trip to O'ahu. We arrived around 10am and had pre-purchased tickets which saved us a bit of money. Parking is on the more expensive end- we ended up spending $18.90 through PARKLINQ on a Monday... not sure if the day of the week matters, but the parking lot had plenty of spots. We walked inside and scanned our tickets, you can also purchase planetarium showings and you'll want to check the schedule to see what's being offered around the museums. We started off in the main building, Hawaiian Hall, which is BEAUTIFUL! We got lucky and arrived when they were giving an introductory guided tour of the main floor and learned so much. We ended up spending two hours in this building going through the different floors and learning about the history of Hawaii as well as other Polynesian cultures and how they influence one another and how the sea has influenced everything. Really, there was too much to soak up in just one visit, but we tried. There are also interactive areas that would be more appealing to kids, and during our visit there were some school field trips coming through. Next we walked through the Castle Memorial Building that is currently housing a dinosaur exhibit. They had a bunch of animatronics and information about different dinosaurs and how we've learned more and more about what the dinosaurs look like and act like. The animatronics were not to size, but had signs with how large they would be compared to a human next to them. After the dinosaurs we ended up at the Science Adventure Center that had a lot of interactive and educational exhibits. I wish we had timed this better so we could experience the lava show, but maybe next time. We also missed out on the planetarium, but if we have the privilege of visiting again we'd time it so we could see the planetarium show and the lava show.

If you want a break from the sun and have some curiosity about Hawaiian culture and history, Bishop Museum is the place to go! The museum is large and carries a vast collection of artifacts. We spent several hours there and felt like we could have stayed for even longer.

We returned to see the dinosaur exhibit twice this week. I'm making good use of my membership while my grandchild are visiting. The free parking and free admission are great. The museum is such a wonderful place to spend your day. The dinosaur exhibits pleaser for the Dino lovers. The dinosaurs are quite realistic and so animated. Today they even had a "real live" dinosaur outside the exhibit. It was delightful to take photos either Jim.

Bishop Museum has much in store to view, learn, appreciate, and create! Become a member! Keanahala Weavers taught us to weave lauhala bracelets. They are so skilled and patient, and wore their own creations from sassy hats, earrings, and bracelets. Nalu taught us bamboo stamping - I gave my stamped card and mulberry paper creations to a tutu to use;) I didn't get to the fresh flower earrings and bouquet making, but they looked beautiful! Mahalo for the warm aloha hospitality and makana, Bishop Museum! The gift shop was filled with local creations, gifts, food, and more! So many wonderful things!!! Wish I had taken more pictures, will have to come back!

Wonderful museum with a lot of variety. You enter through a tiny little gift shop and go out into a spacious courtyard where you can access all the buildings that compose of the entire museum. There was a informational science one where they talk about the types of volcanos that formed Hawaii. There's another gorgeous building with historical artifacts and a lot of information. The parking rates were crazy, but there was a whole street you could park on just outside of the parking lot for free.

Came to an evening event at Bishop Museum - gift shop area to celebrate a wonderful man and his legacy and some items at the shop. We learned how to make a Lauhala bracelet and did some printing with some wood carving. Good food from Highway Inn and good fellowship learning some new things.
