Pacific Aviation Museum

Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum is a nonprofit museum on Historic Ford Island, and its mission is to steward America's World War II aviation battlefield. You stand on the actual battlefield, inside World War II hangars that withstood the attack on Pearl Harbor, and some of them are bullet-riddled. General admission covers the aircraft and all the exhibits in its hangars and the Operations Building. Set your GPS to the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and take the complimentary shuttle from there. Ride-shares must drop off at the visitor center, and Ford Island is still an active military base, so guests without a valid military ID are not allowed to walk around it. No bags are allowed on the shuttle, and you can take photos everywhere except on the Admiral Clarey Bridge to Ford Island. There is no official dress code, but dress appropriately and respectfully, and swimsuits are not acceptable. The flight simulator and the tower experiences are not included in general admission, and the Hangar Café needs no admission if you are there to dine.
