The Polynesian Cultural Center is a great place to go to learn about the different island cultures of the Pacific. The students who attend BYU work at the park to pay for their tuition. Most of the students are from these island groups. People of all ages love it. Even my 1 yr old likes the dancing. They have an IMAX there which is always showing something relative to the islands. I recommend going right when they open at 12:00 and staying for the evening show. I DON'T recommend buying the dinner for an additional $12 or more depending on if you choose the American or Luau buffet. The food is BAD (or at least not good) & there is NO caffeine or alcohol served at PCC because it is Mormon. You can leave the park & walk outside to McDonald's or next door to some hole in the wall good grinds places to eat for a lot less money and be back in plenty of time for the 7:30pm theater style hula show. The entertainment is top notch & the days activities are really interesting and fun. Well worth the cost! Look for discount coupons in magazines in Waikiki. As a resident of HI I have an annual pass & enjoy going several times a year.
