We had a private tour led by a guide who explained all the exhibits in the main building. The collection is very nice, but small. We combined it with a tour to the control tower next door which is a…Full review by DarrenL639

This museum is small and expensive. You can get there by taking the free shuttle from the national memorial. There are also planes outside of the museum to see, but it's still rather expensive for wh…Full review by solocationer

I thoroughly enjoyed the Aviation Museum, being a history devotee. Out of all the Pearl Harbor exhibits, it was probably my least favorite only because I love nautical history so much. That being sai…Full review by RemittanceNinja

Questions & answers

Q:
How long to explore the aviation museum?
A:
It depends on how much interest you have in aviation and/history of aviation. We are only mildly interested in the aircraft but do enjoy the history, we spent almost 2 hours.
Q:
Is this attraction kid-friendly? Would children enjoy it?
A:
Very much so
Q:
Is it worth going to the Pacific Aviation Museum on a rainy day? Thanks!
A:
Sure just bring umbtella to walk between the buildings — there are few planes outside but most are inside two different buildings

Q:
Hi!! One question, if I only want to visit this museum can I purchase tickets just for this one? There is a combo for 65$ that includes the battleship, aviation and submarine but it seems a bit pricey and time constraint.
A:
Hi there, I can't be a 100% sure but I think you have to buy the package when you go in. It would be worth your while to see some of the others if you can .
Q:
How much does it cost? And it is it worth it to rent a car?

You aren't able to drive a car over to Ford Island to see the museum. Your access over is via bus at Pearl Harbor Park. There is a card called Go Oahu that you can purchase online or through Costco. This card has many great attractions available on it. If purchased online through the company, you chose how many days you want. If you purchase through Costco, it is a four day card. Costco is the best deal. A three or more day card gets you a bonus attraction. I took my group of 30 to the Polynesian Cultural Center for the day and used the bonus attraction of a luau. It was great. The card is good at each attraction one time. So if you go to five attractions in one day, they are covered. We went to Pearl Harbor Park, got tickets for the Arizona Memorial (do this early as they only hand out a certain number. You need to hit the park when it opens.) We also got tickets for the Bowfin submarine, Battleship Missouri and the bus that transports you to Ford Island. (At Ford Island, visit Missouri first as it closes early then go back to the Pacific Aviation Museum). All of these are on the Go Oahu Card. We chose to rent a vehicle as it enabled us to tour the entire island. Many of the attractions were near Waikiki area, but some of the really neat adventures were not. My favorite of luaus is Germaine's. Unfortunately the last time we went, it was not on the Go Oahu Card. We did the Polynesian Cultural Center instead. Food was good as was the shows. I liked Germaine's the best as it was right on the beach and you were able to see them roasting the pork and participate in the show if interested. Have a great trip. It is one of my favorite places to go.
