Educational/Cultural/Historical/Nature Outings on Oahu

I have an ongoing list of Educational/Cultural/Historical/Nature Outings on Oahu that may be good for children, teens, homeschoolers and anyone. You have probably heard of many of these before, but a few are not so well known. Feel free to add your ideas and recommendations to this list in the comments section.

For example, a friend just informed me that Windward Community College’s Planetarium offers Imaginarium shows. It’s another option in addition to the planetarium shows at Bishop Museum.
