About

The hale is one of the first stops we’ll make on our tour and it’s open to the general public. The History Center reflects the unique legal and judicial history of the Hawaiian islands from the days of kapu law to the present. 

As their website explains: “From Monarchy to statehood, Aliiolani Hale has faithfully served the people of Hawai`i. Kings and queens have walked its halls. Revolutions have been lost and won around it. Sensational cases have been tried in its courtrooms. Since 1874, Supreme Court rulings affecting the future of Hawai`i and its people have been decided within its walls.”

If you’d like to go inside and take a stroll through the free museum, the hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM (excluding holidays).
