Must See on Ford Island! - Amazing demonstration of military engineering through the years - fantastic exhibits. Great for adults and kids alike! Definitely take the time to go the Hangar 79 for even more aircraft to look at!

Aviation Museum was AWESOME - We were very excited to learn more about aircraft that that helped the USA win the war in the Pacific. We were not disappointed. As soon as we went into the hanger we were confronted with an Japanese Zero fighter. It was a lot bigger that I expected and or great condition. All of the exhibits were very interesting and informative. Anyone that is in to see the Missouri should take the quick shuttle to see Aviation Museum. The CEO even came out and took a photo with the kids and his Blue Angel jet that was outside!

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!
