Amazing to stand in the place where so much has happened thru out history. Hearing the stores and learning the background of it all by our knowledgeabletour guide was a fantastic experience!
The museum has many great aircraft from ww2 and the cold war. They also have a great flight simulator experience for $10. Experience about 30 mins of pacific war aerial combat.
If you have never been to an aviation museum it will be a good trip. We thought it’s a little small for the prize but the displays and stories behind the Pearl Harbor planes were really nice.
Small compared to museums of similar nature in other parts of the US. Be aware of mosquitos/midges in the hanger - we got eaten alive within 5 minutes.
The "gem" of the entire aircraft collection is the Mitsubishi designed, Nakajima built A6M2-21 Zero. It has been restored to represent one of the Zero aircraft that attacked Pearl Harbor.
Whether you're an aviation, history, or "I like to see cool things" buff, you won't want to miss the Pacific Aviation Museum on your visit to Pearl Harbor. A great experience!!
Spend some time with a tour guide (orangeshirts). They really know their stuff. Make sure and take a picture with Kramer, the guest star on Ghost Adventures.
Go here first thing in the morning while everyone is crowding the Arizona Memorial and Mighty 'Mo. Then when everyone is at the Aviation Museum, do the opposite!
Take the Aviator's Tour! It will get you a guided tour of the ENTIRE Two hangars of the Museum 37 & 79, over 20 aircraft. Also I saw the original bullet holes in the windows from the Dec. 7 attack Read more
