The exhibit was not that interesting. I recommend that you visit if you are in the area and you need to kill an hour. It is a little bit out of the Waikiki area. Full review by AdventureMom16

Take the city bus. The price is very reasonable and if you use the transport app Transit you can find the correct bus to take and where to catch it (a block off Kalakawa, if I remember). The bus will drop you a block from the museum in a residential neighborhood and you will cross the street and walk in about a block and you will see the entrance. You can catch the bus for the return trip back on the same street. By the way, take the bus all over Honolulu. It's reasonable, clean and easy and much cheaper than taxis.
