What are the top 3, must see tours in Honolulu?

I will be in Honolulu for 3 days in September and was wondering what were the recommended tours for a family with 2 kids under 4?



What are the top 3, must see tours in Honolulu?


I would say go to the Polynesian Cultural Center. The children might enjoy that.



I would not take them to the Arizona Memorial, it is intended to be a quiet, serene place to pay your respects to the lost lives.



This isn%26#39;t a tour, but at the Pacific Beach Hotel in the Oceanarium Restaurant, it is a 3-story, 280,000 gallon ';aquarium'; that while you are eating, you see quite an assortment of fish, and at certain times, the skin divers feed the fish!



The zoo would be a good place to take them. That way they can see the animals.



I hope this helps you some way.





Aloha,



Gloria

I think they would like the zoo, the waikiki zoo is a nice small zoo where you get close to the animals, and I would take them to see the penguins and turtles at the hilton hawaiian village, also dad need to get down to the beach and build a sand castle they will love it.




Sand Castle is definetly in the plans, will do the zoo! Any idea how much time is required to do the entire zoo, or at least half??



Is the Sea Life Park worthwhile? Is it near the zoo. Are there any waterparks?



Thanks for the




the waikiki aquarium has a pool with critters the kids are allowed to touch.




all the ones that people have mentioned -- plus rent a car, drive them to Lanikai beach and let them frolic on the gentle shores there :)




the nice thing about the waikiki zoo is you can do it in about 2 hours, its in a very nice park with beautiful landscaping and just a short walk from waikiki. Makes for a nice morning activity.




If you are lucky to be here when there is ';sunset at the beach'; event, make sure you take your kids, its free and a great way to spend an evening.



Sunset on the beach is movies they play on certain sat and sun nights. It%26#39;s on a giant outdoor moive screen set up right on the beach in Waikiki near the zoo. They play family movies and some entertainment beforehand.



Starts at 5 pm and movie begins at 7pm. All you need is a mat to sit on, pull up a good spot and enjoy a great evening with.





Hopefully they will have a movie that would be suitable for your kids.



They played Sharks Tale a few weekends ago and it was a huge hit will all the litlle ones.




Polynesian Cultural Center, for the adults, for sure. Kids are probably too young to know the difference.





Kids under 4 won%26#39;t care. They would be most happy in water somewhere, like a beach or pool.




The Polynesian Cultural Center (many miles from Waikiki) is very good, but like the other person mentioned, not sure if the very small children will like it, even with the great shows they have there. Sea Life is many miles from Waikiki, and I hear it is not as great as it used to be; it is not as good as the various SeaWorlds are -- from what I hear. Besides the giant fish tank in the Pacific Beach Hotel, there is another one right on the main street in the heart of Waikiki (Kalakaua Avenue) across from the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center.
