I think the kama Aina ticket prices went up: $20 for adults and $16 for kids 4 and up. And also $5 for parking. It adds up quick but it's a high quality museum and worth the occasional visit.

So much to do here and the cafe has the best deal on gelato I've found on Oahu.
Bishop Museum was founded in 1889 by Charles Reed Bishop in honor of his late wife, Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop, the last descendant of the royal Kamehameha family. The Museum was established to house the extensive collection of Hawaiian objects and royal family heirlooms of the Princess, and has expanded to include millions of objects, documents and photographs.
Today, Bishop Museum is the largest museum in the state and the premier natural and cultural history institution in the Pacific, recognized throughout the world for its cultural collections, research projects, consulting services and public educational programs. It also has one of the largest natural history specimen collections in the world.
