Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum Tickets

About this experience

Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum Tickets This ticket grants admission to the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum on Ford Island, an aviation history museum housed in authentic World War II hangars that still bear bullet holes from the attack of 7 December 1941. The museum's collection spans Hangars 37 and 79, the very buildings that witnessed the assault, and displays over 50 restored aircraft ranging from WWII fighters and bombers to modern jets, each presented with the context of Pacific theatre aviation history. The museum's centrepiece is the "Swamp Ghost," a B-17 bomber recovered from a Papua New Guinea swamp after more than 60 years. Visitors walk among meticulously restored aircraft whilst examining pilot memorabilia, mission logs, and authentic uniforms from airmen who served in the Pacific conflict. Interactive displays and recreated battleground settings throughout both hangars help visitors understand the strategic importance of Pearl Harbor and the human stories behind every mission.
