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.

Nice little piece of history here. Here’s a snippet - all of the lumber to build the main house was shipped from Boston Mass!

Best fun looking around this site, we stayed there and let others find us. The team there even moved us around to see more

Tour guide is very knowledgeable about Hawaii's history. Interesting place to learn about the early missionaries of the island.

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!

Well maintained, charming site with interesting cultural activities from time to time. It’s a bunch of historic houses. Regardless of one’s opinion of them having been there in the first place, they are a part of our islands’ history, and deserve respect

In addition to the museum, locals and visitors should consider going to the Oahu Cemetery Pupu Theater which is organized by the amazing staff at the Mission Houses where there will be historical reenactments of legendary figures in Hawaii every summer. It is definitely an interesting experience you can consider!

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.

Fascinating place with the oldest building in Hawaii and very knowledgeable docents. Tour provides a lot of information about the missionaries and how they incorporated with the Hawaiian royalty.

It is a fantastic historical place and host of the Hawaiian Shakespeare Festival.

Tourist photo spot..

This is a can't miss tour! So normally I post quite a few photos while posting my reviews and try to write a "beginning to end" but we arrived at the gift shop unsure about the tour but th was one starting in 5 minutes and it was twelve dollars per person so we did it. Our group walked out and we in silence for a few steps and all went "holy s#&÷ that was awesome". We (mostly I) tried to trip up our guides with a plethora of off topic late- 1900's Hawai'i questions be he answered them like a boss! The history of the settlement is really worth hearing and I'd call it a must do tour.

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)!

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

(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。

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.

I liked her

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

It was interesting to see the houses, but we were unable to go in anything without paying for a tour. Seemed like a cool bit of history.

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.

A beautiful location, knowledgeable tour guides, and a captivating history about the ABCFM's mission to bring the hope of the Gospel to the people of Hawaii. A few highlights you'll 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.

A great tour. Vey informative and entertaining.

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.

Craft show 2morow Bcareful walking on grass, lots of hard round seeds from the trees

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.

Fascinating slice of history.

HAUNTED YUREI GHOSTS DEMONS!!👿

Lovely and very interesting to see the how missionaries lived so many years ago

Love the history the grounds and the gift shop!

Hawaiian history is kept and preserved

If you can not book a tour ahead of time this is still a great place to go. No tour = free. Good quick visit. Spend some time walking the other areas near here for a great history lesson

Amazing artwork & historic dwellings to view. A cute gift shop to buy local art.

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

Oh outstanding location for looking at the historical events of our past.. Visit and judge for yourself and share your thoughts...

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.

Fascinating

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.
