Honolulu
Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum
Hangars on Ford Island, still carrying bullet damage from the attack, filled with aircraft.
Why go
The hangar glass was never replaced. You are standing in the building it happened to, which the newer memorials cannot offer.
The catch
It is on Ford Island, which means a shuttle from the visitor centre and no private cars. Budget the whole morning for Pearl Harbor if you are adding this to it.

Getting there
Driving times on real roads, from the same data the trip planner routes on — not straight-line distance.
| From Waikīkī | 28 min | 14.4 miles |
|---|---|---|
| From HNL airport | 30 min | 11 miles |
| From Downtown Honolulu | 22 min | 11.2 miles |
| From Ala Moana | 24 min | 12.4 miles |
Add traffic. These are free-flowing times, and the H1 through town at eight in the morning is not free-flowing.
