Setting

Two working seaplane hangars on Ford Island that still carry bullet holes from December 7, 1941, filled with restored aircraft from that day forward. Kids see a Japanese Zero, a B-25 bomber and Cold War jets up close, plus a restoration shop where volunteers work on planes in view. Flight simulators let older kids fly a mission and are usually an extra ticket. The setting does most of the work here because you are standing inside the actual buildings. Reached by shuttle bus from the Pearl Harbor visitor center.
