This self-guided experience allows you to explore the museum’s expansive 14-acre campus at your own pace, offering a meaningful and immersive journey through the stories of the islands and the Pacific. Your pass includes entry to Hawaiian Hall, where you’ll uncover the deep roots of Hawaiian heritage; Pacific Hall, which showcases the diverse cultures and traditions of Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia; the Science Adventure Center, an interactive space that brings Hawai‘i’s unique environment to life; and the J. Watumull Planetarium, where you can explore the stars and learn about ancient Polynesian navigation. You’ll also have access to rotating special exhibits that highlight unique aspects of island life.
As you wander the grounds, don’t miss the Nā Ulu Kaiwi‘ula Native Garden, where you can stroll among native Hawaiian plants and learn about their cultural significance. Be sure to stop by Shop Pacifica, which features a curated collection of Hawaiian and Pacific-inspired gifts, apparel, and cultural items. When you're ready for a break, Café by Highway Inn offers a delicious menu of local favorites, including Hawaiian plate lunches, poke bowls, and island-style snacks. Whether you're passionate about history, fascinated by science, or simply curious about Hawaiian culture, this self-paced visit to Bishop Museum offers a rich and rewarding experience for all.
