Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum Tickets
About This Experience
The Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum offers one of Oahu's most moving historical experiences. Your Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum tickets in Honolulu unlock access to over 50 historic aircraft housed in the very hangars that witnessed December 7, 1941.
What sets this museum apart? You'll walk across tarmac still scarred by actual bullet holes from the attack, while those massive hangar doors display original damage as haunting reminders of that pivotal day. The authentic setting makes history tangible in ways few places can match.
Plan 2-3 hours to explore both indoor and outdoor exhibits at your own pace. The complimentary multilingual audio tour brings each aircraft's story to life as you move through legendary planes that shaped Pacific Theater battles. Interactive elements elevate the experience—climb into open cockpits for photos and try the engaging photo mission that adds contemporary flair to your historical journey.
Don't miss the rooftop access offering sweeping views of Ford Island and Pearl Harbor. Outdoor exhibits showcase additional aircraft in their natural environment, creating perfect photo opportunities. A complimentary shuttle whisks you from Pearl Harbor Visitor Center to Ford Island seamlessly.
The museum operates 9am to 5pm, though arriving by 2pm ensures you'll have ample time before closing. Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum tickets are priced from $18 per person—children ages 3-12 pay $18, while adults ages 13+ pay $30. The meeting point is in Honolulu, HI. Tickets are valid only for your purchase date and non-refundable, so plan accordingly.
