Bishop Museum General Admission Ticket

Bishop Museum -

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!

Response from the operator: Aloha, Traveling X-tra, and mahalo nui loa for your support here, as well as over the years by visiting us! We strive to provide each of our guests with a meaningful experience through our exhibitions, programs, and events. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

Beautiful museum

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!

Response from the operator: Aloha! Mahalo nui loa for sharing so many aspects of your visit with us! We're glad to hear you connected with the stories we share throughout our different galleries and exhibitions, and found enjoyment in learning about Hawaiʻi and the Pacific with us. We hope you can visit us again soon!

Aussie Vacation

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.

Outstanding Cultural Museum:A Must Visit

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.
