This Honolulu Hotel Nabs You Free Museum Passes

Honolulu is a great city for families visiting Hawai’i and not just because of its family-friendly beaches. It’s located on Oahu, which has great activities around the island and is also an ideal jumping off point for a vacation that includes more than one island, and the city itself has great shopping and entertainment. But what many people tend to overlook is the excellent museums located in Honolulu that give you a chance to experience culture alongside sea and sun. Thanks to one particular hotel chain, visiting the museum has become easier and more budget-friendly than ever.

Aqua Aston is a hospitality group with properties across Hawai’i and into Arizona, featuring condominium-style stays with hotel-style amenities. The combination is a big win if you are a family seeking space and privacy while still looking for luxury during your vacation. If you stay at one of the brand’s Honolulu properties, you’ll get to enjoy an extra perk: free entrance to one of Hawai’i’s most incredible museums, like Honolulu Museum of Art and Bishop Museum, which celebrates the local culture and history.

Adding museum visits to your stay isn’t just a great way to get off the beach on rainy days, it’s also a great way to learn about the history and culture of the destination and the people who call it home. You don’t need to devote an entire day to a museum — although you easily can — but there are plenty of kid-friendly exhibits at these museums so the whole family can have fun and learn without losing interest. And when you’re ready to move on, there are always the world-famous Honolulu beaches to enjoy!
