This summer, I was able to visit the Bishop Museum twice. Once as a field trip with the kids at the Boys and Girls Club and again on my own with my friend Jenn to explore the history of Hawaii more in depth. I really enjoyed both visits (I love museums) but I was happy I saved the historical part with artifacts for when I didn’t have any kids to chase after :).

Volcano in the Science Adventure Center. My favorite building!

Under the volcano in the Science Adventure Center.

Dinosaur exhibit!

Planetarium! The globe changed to show all the different planets, sun, moons, etc. It was awesome!

Earth :).

The Hawaiian royal lineage in the Hawaiian Hall. Pretty awesome to see.

This room had the kings and queens of Hawaii in chronological order. There was information on each ruler and their government. Super interesting.

Hawaiian Hall art exhibit.

The wood inside this room was unbelievably beautiful. My favorite part.

Duke Kahanamoku’s surf board.
