Iolani Palace, situated in the capital city of the Kingdom of Hawaii, once served as the royal residence for its rulers. The palace construction began on December 31, 1879, with full Masonic rites, and it was completed in 1882. This historic site holds both pleasant memories of hula events and grand balls and the traumatic memories of Queen Liliuokalani's overthrow and imprisonment. Visitors can experience an unforgettable guided tour of the palace, which includes the state dining room, the King's Library, and the King's bedroom. Their staff provides a fast-paced and fun work environment that provides an extraordinary experience for their guests from start to finish. Photography is permitted both inside and outside the palace, and children under the age of 5 are admitted free of charge. As a museum with tours and exhibits, the palace was the residence of Hawaii's final monarchs during the 19th century. Their staff provides a fast-paced and fun work environment that provides an extraordinary experience for their guests from start to finish.

IOLANI PALACE REVIEWS
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour at Iolani Palace. It's a beautifully restored Palace with unique history. The tour is very neatly organized and everyone treated us nice and politely. We learned a lot about Hawaiian history through our tour and have nothing but respect for the Hawaiian people for their resilience and tremendous efforts in preserving their cultural heritage.
Exquisite restoration of the only Royal Palace in the United States. Very happy this home and grounds was preserved as example of what is lost when we ignore our history.
What a beautiful and amazing visit. Learning about the history of Hawaii was educational and eye opening. The Palace is beautifully restored. The staff were all courteous and friendly. The audio tour was perfectly timed as you walk from room to room and understood the history.

HONOLULU ZOO REVIEWS
Great place to see animals and go for a walk. The Volunteers and park staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. They were at different displays and provided very useful information regarding the animals. We got to pet goats and they were very friendly. This is a great family activity for anybody to do. There is also an awesome gift store that has plenty of animals stuffed and photos, for kids.
I've been going here since I was a baby, and I have always been such an experience. PLUS, this time when I went, there was a RARE baby rhino!!! How amazing is that?? I got to see one of the rarest animals in the world!! As a baby! Totally sick. Also, our farm donated 3 baby goats and 4 piglets, about a year ago, and it was so nice seeing them again. The zookeeper and i had a great talk, and she was SO nice and super helpful! Overall, it was so much fun, and I look forward to my next visit.
We really enjoyed our visit to the zoo. It is very clean and well maintained. There are plenty of animals and wildlife to enjoy. Good is available as well as plenty of benches if you need to take a break. I highly recommend.

PEARL HARBOR AVIATION MUSEUM REVIEWS
Very cool but not as… much as we thought. Very neat to be able to see though. Hanger 79 was disappointing in its emptiness but the bullet holes in the glass… wow. The cafe in the museum is pet cute and the fries were amazing. They were the best priced food we had the entire trip. lol
It's a space where you can view various airplanes along with historical facts. Using the audio guide, you can access information in different languages. The well-restored airplanes present a fascinating sight, allowing you to feel the allure as well as the darker aspects of war. Shuttle transportation is available from the Pearl Harbor Memorial, and tickets need to be purchased.
Clean and with a large collection of restored planes. They have an A6M Zero fighter, which is incredibly rare to see. The short film was informative and had interviews with a lot of veterans, which is cool to see. Highly recommend the Top if the Tower tour add-on if you really want a bird's-eye view of the harbor and fantastic overview of the battle itself. Great place to visit!
