It might be surprisingly unknown, but visiting allows you to learn about Hawaii from 200 years ago, which was quite interesting! The interior design of the buildings was also well done!
意外と知られてない?かもしれないが、行ってみると200年前のハワイとかを知れて結構面白かった!

Mr. McCartney, who was very friendly, entertained us greatly. Watching the stars through a high-performance telescope while receiving a lecture was more romantic and mysterious than I had imagined. I was very moved.
The rings of Saturn were clearly visible and looked so cute. The moon was so large that it couldn't fit in the telescope, and the craters were clearly visible, which was very surprising. I was amazed to see so many stars in the Milky Way that I didn't realize were there. I was able to see many stars that are not visible to the naked eye!
The next day, I was able to slowly enjoy the Hawaiian night sky with my child, recalling what I learned during the stargazing event.
I received photos of the stars captured through the telescope via email. It became a wonderful memory.
気さくなマッカートニーさんがとても楽しませてくれました。レクチャーをうけながら高性能望遠鏡で星を眺めるのは想像以上にロマンチックで神秘的。とても感動しました。
土星のリングもくっきり見えてとてもかわいいかったです。月も望遠鏡に収まりきらないほど大きくクレーターもはっきり映っていてとても驚きました。
ミルキーウェイもこんなにたくさん星が集まっているのかとびっくりしました。肉眼では見えない星たちもたくさん見ることができました!
翌日からは星空鑑賞会で教えてもらった事を思い出しながらハワイの夜空を子供とゆっくり楽しめました。
望遠鏡に写った星の写真をメールで送ってもらいました。とてもいい思い出になりました。
Thank you!

Not too big so you can easily experience all the different Island Cultures and activities in 5 or 6 hrs. The Gateway Buffet has a lot of variety and has quality food, including desserts. The Ha; Breath of Life performance is outstanding.

To begin- we loved that they offered complimentary pictures at entry, they sent them directly to our phone for FREE, other tourist areas always charge for pictures.
The food buffet had a variety of options from chicken, fish, and pork. The food was tasty. Our tickets came with a drink ticket and we enjoyed a mai tai.
The performances were we'll coordinate, we loved the fire show, the hula dances, everything! I would definitely come back for another show. Employees were helpful, informative, and very kind!

The explanation of the doctor's passion for the starry sky was very good. As the sky darkened, I was moved by how many more stars became visible to the naked eye. The explanations are in English, but I think everyone can enjoy them since they are all well-known stars. Not only stars, but we also got to see Venus, Saturn, Mars, and shooting stars, making it a tour that met my expectations.
博士の星空への情熱が伝わる説明がとても良かったです。空が暗くなるにつれて、肉眼で見える星が増えていき感動しました。説明は英語ですが誰もが知る星ばかりなので楽しめると思います。
星だけではなく、金星、土星、火星、そして流れ星も見られて期待通りのツアーでした。

Fantastic show and we really enjoyed it even my kids. However pick up time should have been earlier as stated. Due to traffic we were just in time for the show and disappointed we couldn’t tried the activities provided. However it was a great experience and show. My kids enjoyed the show. Variety of foods from buffet was good however when you are the last table, whatever are left that’s it. Disappointed as the stir fry noodles was finished and when asked if there are more noodles, no answer was provided. Do hope next time you can cater for all the guest. Please advise all guest to put mosquito repellent as we were bitten by mosquitoes on our legs. Great and beautiful pictures taken by the staff and it’s digital, sent link to your phone and pictures can be downloaded for free. Thank you. Memories will treasure. Great performances and talented staff. Love the musics and dances. Highly recommended. Mahalo.

The stargazing event at Ko Olina in HAWAII was really great! ✨ Although the lights from the surrounding hotels made it a bit difficult to see some stars, the explanations about the stars were thorough. We got to use two telescopes: one high-precision telescope with electronic GPS and a regular one, and all participants took turns looking through them. The teacher also provided explanations while showing the stars on a PC screen. They spoke in broken Japanese, so families with children might find that the kids may not understand the English explanations. Japanese participants should keep this in mind when joining! Date of participation: August 12, 2023 (Friday).

I have traveled to Hawaii many times, but this was my first visit to this museum. The exhibits were more fulfilling than I expected, with many displays about the Hawaiian monarchy and photographs from that era, which were quite moving. You can deepen your knowledge about Polynesian culture as a whole. There are two guided sessions in Japanese at 10:30 and 11:30. We arrived at 10:45 without knowing this, but we negotiated and were allowed to join the 10:30 session (it might be a good idea to check in advance the days and times when the Japanese guide is available). In addition to the museum, there are facilities for children (playgrounds), a planetarium, and a science center, but these are not particularly impressive.
何度もハワイに旅行しましたが、こちらのミュージアムは初めて訪問しました。予想以上に充実した展示内容で、ハワイ王朝やその時代の写真展示も多く、感慨深かったです。ポリネシア文化全体についての知識を深めることができます。10:30~、11:30~の2回、日本人ガイドによる簡単な説明もあります。私たちは知らずに10:45に到着しましたが、交渉して10:30の回に入れていただきました(日本語ガイドの開催される曜日や時間は事前に確認した方がいいかもしれません)。ミュージアム以外にも、子供向けの学習施設(遊び場)、プラネタリム、科学センター等併設していますが、これらはさほどたいしたことはありません。
Thank you very much for visiting the Bishop Museum! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Hawaiian Hall Complex, which is one of the highlights of our museum where you can explore the history, culture, and traditions of Hawaii and Polynesia through our exhibits. Currently, we are offering tours at 10:30 AM and 11:30 AM for about 30 minutes as much as possible after the pandemic, but as you mentioned in your comments, checking in advance will allow us to provide you with the latest information. We have special exhibitions that change periodically and new additions to our permanent exhibits, so we hope you will enjoy the museum again next time!
この度はビショップミュージアムへのご来館、誠にありがとうございました!展示品からハワイとポリネシアの歴史、文化、伝統をご覧いただける当ミュージアムの一番の見所とも言えるハワイアンホールコンプレックスをお楽しみ頂けたようでしたら私共も嬉しい限りです。パンデミック後の現在は10:30amと11:30amから約30分のツアーを可能な限り開催しておりますが、コメント頂きましたように事前にご確認頂けますと最新の情報をお伝えすることができます。期間で展示が変わる特別展や、新しく常設展示に加わるものもありますので、またどうぞ次回もミュージアムをお楽しみ下さい!

It was the first time taking my family to PCC and they enjoyed learning about the different islands and cultures. It was a fun and filled with hands on activities for any one of any age to participate in. The buffet had a lot of food to offer and the staff were friendly and accommodating. We were initially seated in the back but we had two members in our family with mobility issues and they promptly reseated us closer to the food. The show Ha was great. I have never seen a woman Samoan fire dancer and she was phenomenal.

The villages were quite a treat! Quite personal, few crowds, and thoroughly educational & entertaining!
The buffet dinner had many choices, but we were not too happy with the quality of the main dishes; beef was of low quality, somewhat tough, & often cold by the time it got to our table; chicken was again of poor quality & soaked in unusual sauces; fish likewise. Would prefer less choices & better quality! Service was good.

This was my 2nd time visiting PCC, 16 years ago was my 1st visit. Nice to see Chief Kap is still there and still has many talents. A lot has changed, the Breath Of Life show was spectacular. The fire dance was amazing. The students that work there, every single one I came across were so pleasant and helpful. Everyone had a big smile and go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable. If you haven’t been to any luaus in Oahu, I’d suggest PCC. Hands down the best one on the island. Mahalo!

Was so impressed with the overall layout of the PCC. Upon arrival there are restrooms, water refill stations. Shops selling lots of good value and different styles of gifts. We started with a ride on the canoe through the villages , the guide was knowledge and told us about the fifferent countries also very interactive with the younger children. We visited as many villages as possible , experienced aspects of their culture through dance, craft or food. It is clear to see the young peoples love of their countries and culture. The buffet was way beyond my expectations, proper dining experience, we were able to taste all foods and it was self service, chicken,beef pork,fish, rice,noodles,salads and so many desserts the list goes on. Very disappointed to see people wasting so much food, piling plates with too much food, especially when the culture of the Polynesian people is to value food and not waste food. We were thanked for supporting the PCC, the monies raised support the students to study and return to their countries to improve the lives of others. Would highly recommend great day out
