It's rather small, so you could tour the whole facility in about an hour. The facility is across the way from the Pacific Aviation Museum. Your tour starts off in the lobby in where you circle around the large "sphere". Various images are projected on the sphere including the topography of earth versus Mars, the direction of the winds, and what I thought was cool, is they show you real time how many and where all aircrafts are flying. After that the kids are taken into a room with a large floor map and quizzed on world geography. Then we were directed into the "augmented sand box" room. Here the kids got to play in a sand box as the change in topography and elevation were projected on a large screen in front of them. Our last stop was the tsunami information Center where the kids learned about where tsunamis come from and the warning signs. They got to play with a "wave box" and sit in a conference room overlooking the 24 hour tsunami surveillance center. They just opened the facility for people to tour so there isn't too much to see, but the things you do get to learn are interesting. There's a cafeteria to grab a meal or snack. There's also a library and lots of pamphlets on different topics related to weather and all things oceanography related. If you're into things like that, you might want to visit while you're on Ford Island. Speaking of Ford Island, you need military access to get here. I don't know how admission works since we were invited on a field trip sponsored by Geographical information services. I'm sure if you give them a call expressing interest, you can get in.

This is a review of the cafeteria inside the NOAA building at Ford Island…read more If you have base access, the cafeteria inside the NOAA building is a good choice for a work lunch. If you've made it past the military guard at the Ford Island bridge, go to your extreme right at the roundabout. You'll recognize the NOAA building right away. It will be on your right. It's all tall glass windows and steel and pretty unlike the Navy buildings. I know, I know. The Navy has other priorities. It spends its money on the fleet and sailors. Once you get to the NOAA building, you'll find a large open parking lot with ample parking spaces. Parking is free. Inside the building, you need to give the NOAA security guard your ID ( state driver license is ok) and in exchange you'll get a Visitor Badge that you keep until you're done with the visit. My friends and I go there for the cafeteria. It serves hot, freshly prepared daily specials. You can also find soups, sandwiches, muffins, pastries and burgers. There are cold items like fruit cups, juice drinks and yogurt. The salad bar is a great deal. It's not fancy. Ruby Tuesday offers more items at its salad bar, but NOAA is more affordable and not as crowded. What's neat is that the cashier weighs the container your salad is in and doesn't charge you for it or for the dressing if you put it in a separate container. I wish other places did that. If you use a plate for your meal, there's a cool conveyor belt that you can put the plate on and it takes it to the back to be washed. Sort of like a sushi restaurant conveyor belt except it's only for dirty plates. There's plenty of seating with great views of Pearl Harbor. NOAA staff even eat their homemade lunch in the area which is cool. Be sure to get there by 11:20 am at least because you could wait a while for your food unless you go with the salad bar or cold items. At the end, give your Visitor Badge back to the guard to get your ID back.

Paradise Cafe was on Smith and Hotel corner and Hotei Donuts next to that. 2 Jacks was in full swing. Vietnamese immigrants were opening shops, most did very well. There was a noodle shop in the building on Maunakea side, and they loved cats--had lots of them prowling the place. Apparently they liked to be close to the warm noodles. Fun times, especially in the evening hours.

Sorry, I couldn't resist the urge to yelp out this Base after doing a BIRTHDAY WISHES Delivery for one of our American Heroes turning 20 on April 1, 2018 Easter Sunday! Made a pot stop at the Express Convenience Store! Traveled toward the destination as marked on the Yelp App until I could go no more! Salute to our Soldiers here!

Less than desirable experience. I had heard for years how unorganized the unit was, but it was…read morelower than the already low expectations I had set. Planning of training at all levels was a mess, I worked at individual unit level and Division, and though many leaders tried to fix it, it was not. It appeared that many field grades and above wanted to leave their mark on the division and make the unit seem more valuable and important than they were. But forget about the soldiers suffering at the individual level due to the overwhelming optempo. It's Hawaii. Let the soldiers experience it and remember that they are people too, and giving them a few hours off once a week for mahalo Thursday or whatever it is now doesn't make up for the lost time in training and packing out! Don't get me wrong, the need for a unit in the Pacific, but the equipment, facilities, and training cycle all need to be revamped. I know CoS will not budge as "it's Hawaii", so with that said, maybe take care of the soldiers like Big Army thinks you already are! By the way, 2 stars are very generous since I lost my retirement by 12 days because of this less-than-stellar HHBN leadership at the time! thanks guys! But I will still bounce back and be amazing since life out of uniform rocks!

The gate closest to the airfield and Mililani Tech park side closes around 9pm. So you'd have to enter the gate across Lyman. Other than that, it's a little more peaceful and laid back than the hustle and bustle and crowd on Schofield. There is a pre-school called Armed Services YMCA that you could put your child in, a community pool for Island Palm residents, a car selling lot, a small and quaint bowling alley, and a small PX. I believe the Navy housing is farther back behind Wiliwili. The park is well kept. I'd recommend this area of you're ever stationed here and there is an opening.

I've lived & worked 'on Post' here for 2 years. I LOVE our quiet lil neighborhood (and neighbors)…read moreWili Wili in the back near the horse stables (private memberships available.) I Remember when we first got stationed here my husband said to me Wheeler army airfield? Isn't that the first place to get hit before Pearl Harbor? Yes, yes it was. There's interesting historical signs about it On the main road by the big gray building and others in the pink Amelia Airhart hanger on the airfield. Many of the homes and hangers that got hit still have the bullet holes in them as historical landmarks. So we live here with respect and humility from the past & excitement about the future. This base is small but friendly & traffic isn't as bad as Schofield in my opinion. AVOID crossing between bases if you can in the morning. It will add an hour to your day. Wheeler has a wonderful new small bowling alley (only 4 lanes) with yummy food beer & free pool Thursday & Friday. Unfortunately due to sequestration they are not able to be open on other days At this time. It was built for the barracks next-door but tends to attract more of an older and family crowd. There are nondenominational Christian worship services at Wheeler Chapel 11 am Sunday's with Potlucks every first Sunday. Pagans meet in the church 1 Friday/mth although I hear it's basically a bunch of young gaming kids and probably not super religious. The Community Center behind the chapel has a pool, Small fitness center, and small movie theater you can reserve for parties. There are several great playgrounds all over the base. There is A barbershop, a bank, a delicious DFAC, shoppette, and a gym in and around the big gray building. The only gas station is on Schofield. All of the housing is pretty awesome in my opinion including the older historical WWII housing (except for poor Camp Stover in the back.) Make sure to make your way over to Schofield on the weekends for the KoleKole (sp?) Pass Hike. It's open to the public usually too. It's only .8 mi one way & doable with small kids & the views are phenomenal. I'm going to leave here with such fond memories! And those Mountain View's?! Breathtaking!! Historically Hawaiian Warriors trained on this plateau also (as they still do as part of the Hawaii National Guard.) Don't miss out on learning about the local Hawaiian history while you're here. I recommend the Shakka app if you're driving around the area. And while you're at it, stop at Zippy's and get some local food and donuts, it's kind of like a Hawaiian Denny's. Dole is only 2 Miles up the road for visiting family & tourists. We also make a great 'Gateway to the North Shore .'Last, all the helicopter & air traffic doesn't bother my family & we can't hear much in our house. Loving Hawaiian Army Aviation life at Wheeler Army Airfield!!
