Entertainment sights in Hawaii

  1. A

    Sea Life Park

    Hawaii's only marine park, Sea Life Park combines all the celebrities of the sea into a variety of zoo- and circus-like exhibits. The highlight is an enormous 300,000-gallon aquarium filled with sea turtles, eels, eagle rays, hammerhead sharks and thousands of colorful reef fish. The park also has a penguin habitat, a turtle lagoon with green sea turtles, and a seabird sanctuary that holds red-footed boobies, albatrosses and great frigate birds.

    These programs have additional admission fees and various combo packages are available. You can visit the park's cafeteria and gift shop without paying admission, and from there you can also get a free glimpse of the seal and sea …

    Smith's Tropical Paradise

    The setting can seem a tad hokey, with a Disney-esque Easter Island figure and trams full of sunburnt, aloha-attired tourists. But don't underestimate the garden's variety of plants, serene pond setting and unpretentious appeal. The loop trail through theme gardens at Smith's Tropical Paradise is a good deal. Forgo the tram ride for a leisurely stroll. If you're catching the luau here, you'll have ample time to tour the grounds before dinner.

    Fun Factory

    Another rainy-day option is Fun Factory, a very '80s place that resembles a carnival arcade, with sports and shooting games, video games and mini carousel rides.
