VISITING THE MUSEUM

Kōkeʻe Museum is open every day of the year from 9 am to 4:30 pm. Admission is free, though there is a Donation Box at the door. A suggested donation of at least $1 per person is suggested. Because Kōkeʻe Museum receives no government funding for operations, we depend on your kind generosity. There is an accessibility ramp into the Museum. Children are welcomed.
