The cafe service is excellent and fast, the catch of the day BLT and the broccoli cream soup are ono.

Tour's good. Cafe's good (long wait during lunch time though). Make sure you check out the gift shop! Their price is lower than other museums like bishop etc

Even the gift shop is an education! Ask for Diane. She knows pretty much everything! She's 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.

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.

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. I'm told it's been closed 6 months now. I truly hope that it returns. It was the coolest unknown spot in the middle of Honolulu.

Nice place to visit. Did not really have a chance to enjoy the tour / check out the gift shop as I have visited on Sunday when everything was closed.

Mission Houses Museum : Michelin's recommendations 2 * " The pieces of Hawaii's oldest Western-style structure were shipped around Cape Horn from New England and assembled here in 1821 by the first American Calvinist missionaries, with the help of the Hawaiian people. With the coming of the missionaries, Hawaii's culture changed forever. You'll learn how by taking a self-guided or guided tour of these three historic houses, which date from 1821 to 1841 filled with furniture, clothing, decorative arts, photographs and tools. "

Take a time to check out some of the historical buildings of Honolulu including the Mission Houses and old church.

We had a great tour today led by the curator. He was very knowledgeable and sincere and you felt he loves what his work and it shows in his presentation. Thanks.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the guided tour by Docent Rose Hansen through 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.

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 it's described in Facebook. The service is efficient and the food is super ono (delicious)!

Had a nice tour of the historic buildings. The history of of the printing press was interesting as was the translation and printing of the bible into the Hawaiian language. The gift shop was nice. Staff were very friendly.

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!

(Translated by Google) I thought about studying Hawaiian quilts. The work was not seen because I exhibited at a Japanese exhibition. (Original) ハワイアンキルトの勉強になるかと思い 行きました。作品は日本の展示会に出展したとかで見られませんでした。
