Oahu Attractions

Never before seen attractions

I visited the museum on my trip to oahu with the family last month and i must say what a surprise. i had been to pearl harbor before and seen the typical attractions but had never stopped to see the pacific aviation museum pearl harbor.

the first plane i was confronted by was the notorious japanese zero! what an opportunity to see one of the only 4 last japanese zero airplanes in the world. the other exhibits were equally as impressive.

i enjoyed the aviators tour to get a close encounter of the planes that changed history. we finished off a long day at the museum with lunch at the wonderful cafe they have in the museum. in my opinion, this is a must see when on oahu.

Awesome addition to the pearl harbor experience

I took my brother and his family here when they came on vacation. the aircraft on display in the main exhibit room were very nicely done, each in it's own wonderful diorama. the kids had a blast in the flight simulators, and the adults enjoyed the aviator's tour where we got to see several aircraft up close. the whole family had fun here.

Beautiful experience

The museum is amazing. located on historic ford island at pearl harbor, in the hangars that still have bullet holes in them from the attack on pearl harbor. don't miss the second hangar on the aviator's tour with the 1940s restoration shop. you can see them restore planes. and they'll let you actually shoot a rivet and get a "rosie the riveter" souvenir for your trouble. our kids loved the flight simulators. the gift shop is really nice and the restaurant has good food and feels like an an officer's club. we loved it. give yourself a couple of hours.
