The water park is a great full day activity for the whole family. There are a couple very daring rides like the "Shaka" and the "Cliff Hanger" and there is a keiki pool and a new surfing ride. The food is pretty good, and they do great birthday parties too. It is pretty expensive, about $30 for adults, but there are always discount coupons floating around. Try to go on a school day & you will have the place to yourself. On windy days it can get chilly, so bring a sweatshirt for warming up if needed.

The Honolulu Zoo is a smaller, quiet zoo located at the end of the Waikiki strip. The outside is surrounded by a lush green plants and vines. It looks secluded area but once you get it, it even feels like you're in a different place. The zoo has a decent number of species to look at and you can get pretty close to the animals.
Admission is under $10 so it is worth it to plan to stay inside and have a picnic, etc.

The Oceanarium is located inside the Pacific Beach Hotel in Waikiki. It's a 280,000 gallon tank that soars three stories high, visible from all three hotel restaurants. I took my husband here for a special Father's Day dinner and the kids were mesmerized by the tank the entire time. It's breath-taking, especially if you get to sit next to the massive tank. Depicting a typical reef community, it is the home to 400 fish and 70 marine species.

Any tourist and local should go at least once to visit this amazing piece of history. Go early, before 8am because it gets very crowded and lines to watch the film on Pearl Harbor get long. When you get in, you have the opportunity to get a ticket to watch the film. The ticket will tell you approximately what time your film will be and usually there will be a wait, depending on how many people got tickets before you. There is no charge so do get a ticket. In the meantime, you can walk around to view different remnants, pictures, models of pearl harbor and WW2. They provide earphone headsets so you can do a tour on your own but be prepared to shell out a $5 required donation if you want the headsets. It is worth it though because you will hear a lot of history and it will keep you occupied during your wait to see the film.
Once you see the film, you get to realize just what an effect it had on Pearl Harbor. And once the film is over, you exit towards the boat that will take you onto the USS Arizona Memorial. You will need to be quiet when you get there because you are essentially on an underwater graveyard. The experience is sobering, seeing all the names of the people who died, seeing the oil in the water coming from the USS Arizona, it is a piece of history everyone must experience if given the chance.

The Waikiki Aquarium has nice exhibits and attractions for all ages. They have an interactive aquarium where you can stick your hand in and touch the wana and the living coral. The seals always frolic and swim around or lounge on the rocks in their tank. One of my favorite exhibits is the jellyfish which look as if they are glowing in their tank. The Waikiki Aquarium is also a great place for holding weddings or special events. My sister got married and had her reception at the Waikiki Aquarium which is fun to be at in the evening.

This place helps a lot when fixing our school's band intruments. However, the prices are kind of higher than say a cheap music store. Its a very homey type music shop and has a nice collection of intruments and music. The people help you a lot and has that sort of Mom and Pop type feeling.

I hang out at this place almost every weekend with my boyfriend!! Being graduate students, we can't afford the regular movies every weekend!! The movies at this theatre are only a few months delayed and the best of all, it is only for $1!!! Or go for Tuesdays or the first show of the day and it is only 50 cents!!! Couldn’t it get any better than that? Theaters are smaller than regular theaters, but can’t complain it if it is only $1!!

We took our kids to see this, the oldest only 8 yrs old and they loved it. The don't allow infants though so our baby had to stay with her grandma.
This is a great experience for kids and adults alike. The tour guide talked throughout and was very knowledgable about the different creatures we saw. We weren't really sure we would be able to see any fish, but were fortunate enough to see some turtles and fish.
This is a great real experience for kids and adults though very pricey.

My sons preschool class went here and it was definitely the perfect age to enjoy this place. There was a place that was like the human body where kids can go in and different things to touch and play with. There was a little town where you could dress up and play grown up. It included things like a supermarket where kids could either be the shopper or the sales clerk ringing up the food, shop for fruits and veggies and milk and more. There was also a firetruck where you could dress up like fireman, the inside of an airplane, and so much more. In another area there were stairs you could climb so you could drive the wheel of a ship and lookout from, there were fish costumes to dress up like a fish, there was a stage where you dress in costume and be an actor. There was even a huge bubble machine where children could make huge soap bubbles. This is a fun, interactive place perfect for preschool age kids.
