 Bishop's museum by Redlats
The museum has more meaning when you join the tours (included with the entrance fee). Arrive early enough in the day to be able to follow a few of the tours. It took us over 1/2 a day to see everything before we were museumed out.
Cost in 2004 for adults is still $15 each. We found a coupon in some magazine for $5 off the entrance fee. Leave a Comment Address: 1525 Bernice Street, HonoluluDirections: To get there, we took The Bus (# 2) from Waikiki. It takes about 3/4 hr. The museum is in a residential area in northwestern Honolulu.Website: http://www.bishopmuseum.org/

The Bishop Museum is one of my favorite places in the world. It houses a wonderful collection of artifacts from old Hawaii and Polynesia, and also tells the story of the immigrant groups who have contributed to Hawaii's history.
There are feather war gods, huge gourd bowls, clubs studded with sharks' teeth, an actual-size grass hut, and things that belonged to Hawaiian royalty, plus many changing exhibits. (After you've seen all the feathers taken from the tail of the o'o, you can make up your own story about how the bird got its name... )
The Planetarium has several different shows. The one I attended explained how the ancient Hawaiians navigated by the stars. With my faulty sense of direction, I probably would have ended up in the Aleutian Islands.
The Science Adventure Center offers interactive exhibits about Hawaii's environment.
Local hula halaus and Hawaiian music groups often perform in the main hall at the museum, and once we went to a children's festival on the grounds. This is an amazing place -- don't miss it!
Open daily, 9 - 5, except Christmas Day. Admission: Adults - $14.95, Seniors 65 and over and children 4-12 - $11.95, children 3 and under - free. Because some buildings in the museum complex date from the 1880s, parts of some halls are not wheelchair accessible.

Bishop Museum is the premier natural and cultural history institution in the
Pacific and is recognized throughout the world for its cultural collections,
research projects, consulting services and public educational programs. It
also has one of the largest natural history specimen collections in the world.
As the largest museum in the state, Bishop Museum hosts over 500,000 visitors
each year who experience over 2,000 years of history and cultural heritage, from
early Polynesian migration and settlement to space exploration.
The Museum also operates two other institutions: Hawai'i Maritime Center (located
in Honolulu Harbor next to Aloha Tower Marketplace) and the Amy B.H. Greenwell
Ethno botanical Garden (on the island of Hawaii). Visit also the Bishop Museum Planetarium: I really liked it (but also missed the last bus to get home to see it :PP lol) Leave a Comment Other Contact:

The Bishop museum contains a carefully assembled and presented collection of Hawaiin and Pacific cultural material.
Plan on at least 4 hours, and this might not include a visit to the Planeterium/Observatory!
