Things to Do in Pearl Harbor - Spent the day in Pearl Harbor with the family and ended the day passing by the Aircraft Museum. Several planes and helicopters to see up close and possibilities to climb into a cockpit. Lots of fun for the kids. The museum is very well done with possibility to take headphones (available in French) to be guided through the attack of December 7. Recommended.

The best school trips from the best guides - The only Japanese guide, Moko Kamiya, showed us around and gave us a tour. My friends and Kamiya-san had a very valuable experience together! It was a very easy to talk to and easy to understand guide, and there were many stories that can only be heard here! I'd love to go there again!

Very informative (a few warnings) - Be careful which one you’re booking. It’s easy to confuse them and end up disappointed. We had really hoped to see the USS Arizona, but we did enjoy the aircraft museum. The audio tour was informative and well-done. High points were the video in the control tower and sitting in the cockpit of the F111. We really enjoyed talking with the volunteer veterans there. Oh, and don’t forget to wear deep pockets to carry important things because you have to store your bags at the entrance for about $8.

Expand your knowledge! - To me it connects the US Arizona Memorial to the rest of the war in the Pacific. You get to see aircraft that served both the United States and Japan. You may have heard about wildcats and Zeros but here you can see them up close!

A fascinating visit - I love aircraft and history, so the 3 hours I spent at the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum was fascinating. There’s something true to the cliché “history comes alive” as well as something spiritual seeing the bullet holes from December 7!

One of the best aviation museums around - I am going to be very biased here because I am a massive aviation nerd. The Pearl Harbour Aviation Museum is one of the best I have been too. Seeing an actual Japanese Zero on display, incredible. The Museum building was so well displayed and had great air conditioning. The shop was great also. The aircraft displayed outside was surprisingly very well maintained compared to some other outdoor museums I have been too. Hangar 79 was very empty besides the Swamp Ghost but still worthy of a look. Only downside was the cafe had a gas (propane) issue when I was there which meant only 2 or 3 options on food was available and the deli sandwich that I got was below average and for $15 was a total rip off.

Not Much - Half a dozen planes that's it we expected more for $30 per ticket. Go to the war museum in New Orleans for a real aviation museum

Vague information - The information about the outing was vague. We did not know where we were to go and was under the impression someone was to meet us as a group tour since there was a scheduled time to be there.
