Reviews of The Honolulu Museum of Art Spalding House (Museum)

Our favorite weekend spot. Love getting a picnic from the case and eating it out on the lawn under the huge tree. The grounds are super fun for kids - easy jungle climbing paths and lots of space for them to run around. Inside had a small but nice at collection.

Great art museum! Their galleries are quite fascinating. The different mediums throughout the museum is terrific. The local art is amazing and the different galleries that they change out every few months are very interesting and unique. The 3rd Sunday of each month is Family Day with arts and crafts for the kids,family films and usually live music and dancing. Its a super fun event!

Amber Arnold

This place is AMAZING. If you visit, walk the entirety of the garden. There's the most beautiful view of Honolulu framed by all the trees.

John Alexander

One of my favorite places in the entire state! Gorgeous setting, outstanding art -- check out the Hockney exhibit! -- a fantastic indoor/outdoor café, and a not-to-be-missed gift shop. Take a tour of the magnificent grounds when you're done with the museum!

Robert Cavanagh

Nice Museum with a beautiful garden and great artwork

Navdeep Asi

The grounds are lovely. And the view of the city from this height is amazing. It's not the biggest museum but if you have some spare time it's worth it to stroll the gardens and enjoy the nature. Quite serene. I wouldn't say it's a must do if you're strapped for time. If you pay for the other museum this ones free admission though so something to keep in mind. We took the bus there transit is great.

Oscar Johnson

Very nice...educational and courteous

Emily McKenzie

Beautiful museum and grounds plus a very immersive David Hockney piece!

Gregory Caso

Just plain gorgeous! Wonderful appetizers as well!

Oleg Garifullin

It's not a bad place to visit. Brobally the garden is the best. But really small, like an hour max (mre lilely 40 mins) to see everything. The administration should work on it more, make more events expand it more. I guess it lools the same as 10 years ago.

(Translated by Google) You can see various art works and there is a restaurant. There is also a large lawn where children can play. There is also fun to see the luxury houses and the mansions around the top of the mountain. (Original) 여러가지 미술작품을 볼 수 있고 레스토랑도 있어요. 아이들 놀 수 있는 넓은 잔디밭도 있습니다. 산윗쪽에 있어서 가는길 주변에 고급주택과 맨션들 보는 재미도 있습니다.

James Galban

Serene gardens and great modern art. A Oasis in the city.

Reid Tabata

The exhibits are always intriguing and the view is spectacular from the front lawn.

I love this place. The garden is amazing!

David Sampson

Great venue, great art, loved the garden

Asel Aitimbetova

This my favorite museum. Ideal to bring kids. Lots of open space. Perfect for pics. The cafe is really good. I tried soup, salad and pita and it was delicious. Customer service is excellent. The garden is the gem. I highly recommend to enroll your kids to art class program there. You can go to Honolulu art academy web site and register online or come to admin office on 111 Victoria street to apply in person.

Kevin Tak

Walking through for three hours on Saturday afternoon. See history if Pacific arts as well as modern arts. There are gardens and cafe to relax. Very nice walking path in the museum. Definitely will come again. Admission is free on the first Wednesday and the third Sunday.

Aaron Box

This is not THE Honolulu Museum, this is a small house-museum. It is interesting with great views, but pretty small and limited for the price.

(Translated by Google) It is a nice place with a view. Worth visiting once and seeing. There is a free bus from Waikiki in June! The Honolulu Museum of Art will be included if you pay $ 20. (Original) 眺めの良い場所てす。一度行って見る価値あり。 6月は、ワイキキから無料バスあり！ 入場料$20支払いすればホノルル美術館も入れます。

Tihani Metzger

A beautiful hidden gem with some really fun and unique exhibits. The cafe downstairs is really cute with some decent fare. Highly recommend, especially if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a while.

Marie Nelson

The plastics exhibit really brings out how our world is impacted by our careless use of plastics. The garden was outstanding as were the sculptures. A must see in Honolulu.

Brandee Meinel

I love it at the Spalding house cafe. What can be any better then looking out at the city on a nice beautiful sunny day, with a wonderful picnic basket prepared by the wonderful people in the cafe. Celebrating how lucky we live Hawaii with a bottle a wine that I brought to relax and enjoy with friends. With the picnic basket had the Classic panini and the Chicken Reuben Sandwiches. It also came with salad, dessert, and drinks. They also provided us with a blanket, umbrella, and chirping bird of paradise...I would recommend this experience to anyone who has never seen the city through in this kind of sunlight.❤

Phil Stripling

The art in the museum on our visit was entirely about the dangers of plastic to the world. Outside, the grounds were superb and worth the price of admission.

Sandra Hashida

We went for a school field trip with 3rd graders. The students were able to draw in their journals in and around the museum. The docents were knowledgeable and kept the children's interest the whole time. Beautiful and peaceful garden home with intriguing artwork indoors and out.

Cyn Cruz

This small but mighty museum is one of the most charming places on Oahu. You get well curated exhibits at a spectacular property. You could take a quick break up here and feel instantly transported or languish here for hours for a mindful retreat. I recommend checking it out first on the Bank of Hawaii Family Sunday’s (the 3rd Sunday each Month) when admission to this museum and its sister, the Honolulu Museum of Art on S. Beretania are completely free. While it’s typically crowded on those days; you can at least get a sense of the space. If you enjoy it, then come back another day and take advantage of the tours. The volunteer docents are extremely friendly and approachable. They know how to coax great conversations out of you even if you feel like you don’t know anything about art. One of my absolute favorite places in the world!!

John Takeuchi

We had such a fun time at the museum. Highly recommended. The kids loved it too. :)

Jelicia Bell

This place is peaceful and serene.

Natasha Skoberla

It has really great grounds around but the art part just didn’t speak to us when we visited. Kids had little fun getting some activities offered but I don’t think we will be coming back.

Stacey Quandt

A nice place to spend an overcast day. Cafe offers a number of sorbetti and gelati.

Osirus Rhombus

It was family day today! Lots of fun stuff, I have always enjoyed this museum and it's garden views!

Leslie Lewis

Not much to see. Nice place for lunch meeting.

모네의정원

(Translated by Google) I visited with my 7 year old and it was very good. The number of works was small, but it was just right for the child to concentrate! The garden was so beautiful, ♡ I played with my kids fun! But it was a pity that the cafe closes early. (Original) 만 7세 아이와 함께 방문했는데 너무 좋았습니다. 작품수는 적었지만 아이가 집중하기엔 딱 적당했어요! 정원은 어찌나 아름답던지♡ 아이와 신나게 뛰어놀았습니다! 다만 카페가 일찍 문을 닫는게 아쉬웠네요.

Frank Mckenna

Beautiful place with a lot of local artists work. Very pretty walking

David London

I will miss this place. Sorry to see it go.

Keg Ohana

Free on 3rd Sundays, free parking too at Spalding House

Lisa Whitten

The grounds were beautiful and there were a few nice pieces of art, but I would have been disappointed had I spent $20 to visit. Our ticket to visit a different museum covered our entrance fee, which made it worth the trip.

Mary MacKay

Beautiful grounds, lovely small cafe, ever-changing exhibits. Small museum, now part of Honolulu Museum of Art.

Shimoda Family

Beautiful location hidden only minutes from the busy city. Cafe has great food.

Maryann Imbronyev

Beautfull ground .love the lunch menus

Justin Nguyen

Not too many bird themed stuff.

Zab

Picnic in beautiful settings. What's not to like. Art inside is pretty cool, especially the trippy guest house

google user

(Translated by Google) You can enjoy museums, such as outdoor sculptures as well as indoor. Diamond Head views far from the garden is also recommended. Asked a sandwich in the hotel has been a cafe, I Otsu of how to spend also because lunch at picnic on the terrace. Since the flight of the traffic is not a good, let's take a taxi. (Original) 屋内だけでなく屋外の彫刻作品なども楽しめるミュージアム。庭園から遠く望むダイヤモンドヘッドもオススメです。 併設されたカフェでサンドイッチを頼み、テラスでピクニック気分でランチというのもオツな過ごし方ですね。 交通の便は良いとは言えないので、タクシーを利用しましょう。

Patti Lopez

It's smaller, cooler, quiet, peaceful and beautiful.

Dianne McMillen

Interesting show by Eric Swenson

Amazing views, gardens, and art!

We went to the Honolulu Museum for the first time to attend a family day event sponsored by Bank of America each month on the 3rd Sunday. Admission is free during this event. The museum is really nice with great exhibits. The family day event had lots of activities for children. We really enjoyed the free (school bus) ride up to Makiki Heights for more activities at Spalding House. The atmosphere and views from up there are amazing. The art exhibits up there are nice, too. There's a nice, open grassy hill area to relax and for keiki to play. There's also a nature trail that leads you all up and through a beautiful jungle like scene. Overall, it was a great first experience at the museum. The only issue was parking. Afterc 20 minutes of circling around the museum area, we finally managed to park in the museum lot off of South Beretania. Cost was $5. I'd recommend this museum and especially the free 3rd Sunday event.

(Translated by Google) Here is a quiet place, a bit away from Waikiki. I can have lunch in the garden. (Original) ここは静かな場所、Waikikiから少し離れます。庭でランチが出来る。

Beautiful museum of art

Kamil Deen

Super grounds, and lovely little restaurant

Aloha Guided

Si desean disfrutar de un buen almuerzo a buen precio y en un lugar hermoso les recomendamos Honolulu Museum of Art. Si desean visitar el Museo deben pagar $10 para residentes y $20 extranjeros, o si sólo van por café/almuerzo no pagan entrada.

William West

Loved it

kyle gates

Wonderful place. The train was an amazing walk. It looks more treacherous than it is.

(Translated by Google) It's a nearby place like Waikiki! Sitting on the lawn and feeling picnic (Original) ワイキキから近い穴場的な場所ですね！ 芝生に座ってピクニック気分

Keith Weiser

Small intimate collection tucked away in the hills. It's a nice place to go for a stroll around the property which is nicely landscaped and dotted with sculptures. Pack a lunch to eat on the lawn to make it worth the trip if you're coming from far.

Cassy Sanders

Fantastic collection and beautiful grounds. We came on a rainy day and it was still very beautiful and moving. One of my favorite experiences while in Oahu.
