Sorry to hear of your disappointing experience, Gregg.
May I suggest you email your account to the museum? http://www.tsunami.org/ tsunami@tsunami.org
I have not been there in a few years, but had a very different, somewhat emotional experience.
To many, especially in the Laupahoehoe area, the tsunami of 1946 is still a very personal event, not something that has passed into history. Just 2 weeks ago, I heard the story of an acquaintance who lost several siblings, something he never talks about, in part because he ran toward safety, his siblings the other direction. Their names are on the plague at the park.
Every April, there is a remembrance service - open to public.
