Included admission free with the card.

Description

Even before statehood, Hawaii has played a strategic role in the history of the U.S. military. In Battery Randolph at Fort DeRussy in Waikiki, guns, helicopters, and tanks now stand as silent testament to the military story of Hawaii from the ancient Polynesians to Hawaiian royalty and from WWI through Vietnam. Photographs and sound effects create an experience that brings these conflicts to life and gives you a firsthand perspective from the battle lines. Fort DeRussy was built by the Army in 1915 as a coastal defense battery. Thirty-five years later the artillery was disbanded and in 1950, the fort became an Armed Forces Recreation Area. The museum opened its doors in the mid-1970s.
