Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum

The hangars housing the museum were bombed during the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941, and you'll explore the place where history happened.

You'll get to experience the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor from the place where the very first bombs were dropped on that fateful day in a stunning site that spans two WWII aircraft hangars filled with aircraft, exhibits, and artifacts of the men and women who gave their lives for freedom.

When you hit hangars #37 and #79, you can use fantastic new audio devices to hear the stories of the inspiring array of artifacts within during your self-guided tour. The device's excellent features will please visitors of all ages.

What's more, you'll see an authentic light civilian plane that was shot while airborne during the attack, an actual B-25B Mitchell, an SBD Dauntless Dive Bomber, and many more. Along with aircraft exhibits, you'll also hear stories of the men who actually flew in the aircraft depicted in life-like settings or dioramas.

For a small extra fee, you can take to the controls and defend the skies in a state-of-the-art 360-degree combat flight simulator.

You can also upgrade your experience for a fee by taking the Top of the Tower Tour on your visit, which is discounted with your pass. On this guided tour of the 15-story tower - which has been closed to the public until now - you'll see the restored elevator, upper cab, take in the 360° views from the observation deck and much more.

After you've explored the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum exhibits, stop by at the aviation-themed gift shop or grab a bite at Laniakea Café – an island-themed restaurant that recreates a pilot's club on a remote Pacific Island.
