Preregister now to visit Bishop Museum for free and try out dozens of hands-on activities this Sunday. We tried it last year and our boys had a blast going from booth to booth, learning from local scientists and experts, and picking up pamphlets and prizes along the way. Organizers say this year’s highlights include a “Creature Creation Station,” “Slime Time” class on Hawaiian snails, a five senses “No Bones About It” activity and NOAA experts’ “Science on a Sphere” presentations. A new “Land, Sea and Sky” exhibit will be unveiled in the Science Adventure Center, where families can also see rock melt into molten lava. You can purchase lunch from food trucks including Bao Boys, Kiawe Pizza, Sweet Revenge, Tea Girls, Uahi Island Grill and Uncle Lani’s Poi Mochi, and stick around to see special Planetarium shows and the museum’s new visiting exhibit Expedition: Dinosaur. We tried it. See our full review and tips here.
