Enjoyed strolling the grounds of Museum, being transported back to a more peaceful way of being and time. Will definitely return to learn more with a tour. The gift shop is beautifully arranged with books and by local artists.. Simply Amazing, and i tell you what .. The North Shore Goodies Original Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter is absolutely delectable. Highly recommend grabbing a couple jars to take home. Will have to get the Banana MacNut Peanut Butter, next time!

Cool place with lots of history about the missionaries and their life in Hawaii. They have a printing press which was great for the kids and adults to see in action.The old missionary house is the original house from the 1800s.

I appreciated being able to see these preserved building from the missionary era of Hawaiian history. It represents a fundamental change in culture, way of life, and ushering in the Hawaii we know today. It is good to look back at history honestly whether positive or negative. It is how things came to be. We learn from the past, what to emulate and what to change.

A beautiful location, knowledgeable tour guides, and a captivating history about the ABCFMs mission to bring the hope of the Gospel to the people of Hawaii. A few highlights youll see are the oldest building still standing in Hawaii, Coral Stone buildings hand cut from the ocean floor, and original furnishings, plus so much more. A definite favorite for tours in Honolulu.

Even the gift shop is an education! Ask for Diane. She knows pretty much everything! Shes revamped the gift shop so that all the goods are made by Hawaii artists. Amazing & beautiful tile work can be purchased here, locally hand-made & terrific smelling soaps, and all goes to benefit the museum.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the guided tour by Docent Rose Hansenthrough the Mission House buildings on the Kamaaina discount Sat, even though the weather was very rainy. Her attention to detail in sharing the history of the early missionaries in Hawaii, their lifestyle and challenges throughout their time here, their artifacts, and the contributions and influences the missionaries made to our Hawaiian culture and history thru the printing press, music, fashion, construction, and of course in religion, were most enlightening, and even different from our early understandings. We highly recommend this tour, or even a revisit, to visitors and kamaaina alike. Mahalo to Curator Mike and Gift Shop assistant Grace for a very memorable experience.

It was an excellent, hidden amidst century old missionary buildings in central Honolulu. Unquestionably private rederves. Sadly, closed now, a faded paper says closed now returning soon. Im told its been closed 6 months now. I truly hope that it returns. It was the coolest unknown spot in the middle of Honolulu.

While visiting the Mission Houses, definitely stay for a bite at the Mission Social Hall and Cafe - comfort food with a nod to history is how its described in Facebook. The service is efficient and the food is super ono (delicious)!
