"Polynesian Culture"

Reviewed April 19, 2025 NEW

This is a nice museum to spend a few hours if you are interested in learning more about Hawaiian and Polynesian history and culture. The museum was relatively quiet on the weekday afternoon we visited. Parking was ample, but you’ll need to pay through your phone.

"Outstanding Museum"

Reviewed March 06, 2025

With an adult ticket price of about $35, we almost didn’t go, but SO glad we did. Museum is spread out over several building, and we managed to go through them all. This museum has worked hard to retrieve many Hawaiian artifacts from other museums around the world, and was very complete. Our favorite part of the museum was a demonstration in the science building where they headed up rocks into a molten form…. Basically making lava. Really interesting. Important - do not buy your tickets through Tripadvisor. The front desk staff could not figure them out and eventually just let us in (after about 15 minutes of discussion)
