Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum Tickets

See history from the warbird point-of-view

The moment you step into the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, you’re sure to feel the impact of the US Air Force during the events of December 7, 1941. Inside the huge Hangars 37 and 79, you’ll get to see more than 50 historic aircraft, from WWII fighters and bombers to sleek modern jets. The hangars still have actual bullet holes from the attack. Whether you’re a total aviation buff or just curious to learn more, the museum’s warbirds, hands-on exhibits, and powerful displays make for an experience you won’t forget.

Explore at your own pace, in your own language

To make your visit even more meaningful, the museum offers a self-guided audio tour available in English, Japanese, Spanish, Korean, Cantonese & Mandarin. With just a handheld audio wand, you'll hear the personal stories behind the aircraft, pilots, and missions that shaped history. The flexible format means you can pause, rewind, and explore the exhibits at your own pace and diving deeper into the moments that capture your attention.
