Security was posted within the audience seated throughout the concert. The ac was strong. An older crowd in the audience. The row in front of us had their heads bobbing to the music. The performer had local guests sing a duet with him, had BYU choir on stage, the Honolulu symphony Orchestra plus his own band performing. Glad there were two large screens to see Josh Groban sing. Helps when large and tall people sit in front of you at the last possible moment. Felt almost like a gospel vibe to me but could be cuz I was not familiar with the majority of his songs.

Ward Field is a multi-purpose sports and gathering area to the right of the Nimitz entry gate. The…read morefield is used year-round for softball, baseball, soccer, football, and other athletic activities. The field is quite large, so there may be more than one game playing at a time, depending on the time of year and the sport. There are bleachers, benches, and dugouts in different sections to accommodate both the players and the spectators. When JBPHH needs a large space for an event, often they will erect tents at Ward Field. This is a frequent gathering area for the Fourth of July and other holidays. There is plenty of parking right next to the field, but additional parking can be found at the buildings surrounding Ward Field when it gets to be crowded. Most of the area here is in good repair, but because this field gets used frequently, the ground can become muddy and lumpy if there's a big crowd during a rain shower. If it looks like rain, military or cowboy boots will help to keep your feet clean and dry. Security and staffing will depend on each event, but the annex building is staffed during regular business hours.

Have skated here in the past. Came here for a public session…read morethat started at 10 o'clock, and the doors were locked with a line outside with over 20 people ready to get in to skate as it is fall break in the public schools. Not good. We can see several employees milling around inside, but don't charge me for a session that starts at a certain time and then not open the doors before that to get ready, get skates on, etc. Already a big negative before we have entered the doors. After waiting 20 minutes, I was told because I had figure skates. I was not allowed to do jumps or spins on this session. Nothing online states this nor any other rules. If you were going to have a policy that you are going to enforce, have it online so people can make an informed decision before they take their time to go there STAY AWAY

I attended a live concert at the Neal S. Blaisdell Center and sat toward the back of the venue…read more Even from that distance, the sound quality was surprisingly crisp and clean. The audio felt a little far away because of the seating location, but I was impressed that it still came through clearly. The seats were comfortable enough, though nothing particularly memorable. Ticket prices were higher than I expected, especially considering the concert was not very full, but one great perk is that they offer a student discount, which can make attending events much more affordable if you're young! The best part was the person introducing the pieces - he really got into character!

It…read morewas a competition, and there was also a halau from San Diego competing, so I got to see one of the instructors I know perform and some of her students. The set up for the competition was interesting. Open seating, and families were really territorial about seats, especially the ones that faced straight on. The sides were decent, but most of the performances faced one way. Debs and I got the stink eye when we walked up into the first section...it was all very funny! The emcees were great, although, I do wish the guy would stop bringing religion into the program. You can love God, but don't force it on others. The intermission entertainment, Vaughn Henry "Kealohamele" Claude Kalawa, were really good! So good, they inspired some of the patrons to go out on the floor and hula. It was great! There were retail and food vendors in the other hall. It reminded me of a very small Made in Hawaii festival. I got some tasty lumpia and pancit from Aloha & Mabuhay, although the son working the register didn't seem very happy to be there...LOL! I also got the garlic chicken and fried noodles from Lee's Waipio, and their Spam musubi was the best I have eaten in a long time. Mainland people just don't know how to do it. They were sold out of Tahiti Fete t-shirts and I was bummed, but when we were back in our seats, and the entertainment was done, one of the emcees announced there were 30 shirts available. Debs and I literally ran to the table. Overall, it was a fun day to be inspired by the young people dancing.

I'm going to preface this review by sharing that I'm not a huge fan of watercress. At least, I…read morewasn't. After visiting Sumida Farm and tasting different watercress dishes, I can see myself picking up some watercress from the grocery store. For so many years, I've passed the beautiful green area along Kamehameha Highway in front of Pearlridge and next to Starbucks and thought what a breath of fresh air, compared to everything else in the area along Kam Highway. I was very fortunate to be a part of an exclusive tour of Sumida Farm. They do not do this regularly and it is not open to the general public. We got to meet Mr. David Sumida, the 3rd generation owner of the family-owned business graced us with his presence and gave a brief history lesson about their farm. His parents moved from Japan and began growing watercress. Fast forward to today, many developers have offered millions of dollars for the land in hopes of developing it into something else. Bravo to the Sumida Family for standing their ground and hanging onto the precious, watercress-bearing land that has fed Hawaii for years. We got to walk along the watercress field and even dip our feet in the cool water. Being there was so serene, and being down in the field, I almost forgot that we were surrounded by Kam Highway and Pearlridge Center. We were treated to a special lunch by a chef who whipped up recipes that contained watercress and let me tell you, some of the dishes didn't even taste like it contained watercress even if it was one of the main ingredients. The lunch gave us many new ideas on how to incorporate watercress into our meals. I have a whole new appreciation for this vegetable and for the beautiful farm along Kam Highway.

Sumida Farm is not just good at their job, they're outstanding in their field...of watercress!…read more Today I had the pleasure of taking a tour on their watercress farm! Did you know that we used to have dozens of watercress farms on island? Now there's just 2 farms left on Oahu. I've learnt that it takes about 6-8 weeks, till the watercress grows back. They call it "seasonal crops" with longer summers, and less cool nights in the summer. You're looking at a 30-40% production from July-January (depending on the weather). With a dozen of pure springs where the water flows, is what watercress needs to survive, along with sun, and not too much humidity. Here, you'll also find lots of fish, crayfish, and birds in this environment. You'll also notice the sprinkler system, which is a pest deterrent system, pulling from the spring water (fully sustainable). It was a totally beautiful (and hot) day today! Thank you Sumida Farms for the warm hospitality!

Like…read moreit's retro but not like they're purposefully trying for it to be that way, just seems like it never had a real tear-down style renovation. Overall clean. Service was okay. A bit expensive but no more than any other theater. Not the place to go if you want a more modern experience, but if you're into this kind of aesthetic like me you'll find an appreciation for it.

Moths? Old roughed up and broken "luxury" recliners? Yowzaa…read more Today, was not a great customer experience. 11/17/25. It's a Monday afternoon at Consolidated Theatre PearlRidge. The theatre was not crowded and we walked right into the theatre to purchase our tickets at the food service station. Only one employee was present at the time of our entry. Nice and helpful personality. Odd, we weren't asked to select our seats. But he reminded me of my free popcorn I had available. Thank you. Our movie was showing in Theatre no. 9. We sat down and noticed how old the chairs looked. The first seat did not recline. It appeared broken. We moved one seat over, as no other customers were in the row. Please see the pictures to observe the condition of the chairs. During the movie, I kept seeing bugs (later informed that it was moths) flying nearby our seats. I tried swatting at the moths during the movie. A definite unexpected distraction while watching a movie! I can't recommend this theatre until the moth problem is eliminated. The manager acknowledged the problem and was kind enough to provide us with ReAdmittance tickets for another movie. Service is 4/5 stars. However, the condition of the theatre is unfortunate and needs attention by management.

My husband and I went to the Mayjah Rayjah 2013 Concert last night. We had a great time. Even…read morethough we are on the 'mature side' and didnt know any of the artists. I wanted to do something totally different for our 28th Wedding Anniversary. We sat on the over 21 side (the alcoholics side) as they were affectionately known throughout the night . We chose this side only because it had a better angle to the stage. We got there really early but didnt need to really. We were first in line at the express entrance because we bought a Groupon for the concert.. There is really no need to arrive early and line up for hours we discovered unless you really really want to sit right down the front on the cement step near the stage. There is more than ample room to put your blanket down and relax and watch the show and the stage can be seen from anywhere. We sat on the first path half way up the hill just near the sound desk and it was perfect. By the end of the night though we had a lot of people standing on the path behind us but that didnt happen until about 11.30pm. I am a watcher and I watched the ample ample amount of security guards, no one seemed to be misbehaving even on the 'alcoholics side' and everyone was having a great time dancing and singing. You cannot repeat CANNOT take in anything other than a blanket. I bought 2 stadium seat thingys with the padded seat and back attached from Walmart for $18, they were well worth it as we sat on the grass for 7 hours and hardly got a 'numb bum'...... Each bag is checked thoroughly, every zipper was open and searched. Large backpacks are not allowed in and what was allowed in were completely searched as well. The drinks were overpriced, water, sodas were $3 each but the food was reasonable. 2 Hawaiian plates, rice with salad and chicken or chili franks were $8 each so not too bad. We didnt have any alcohol so not sure of the price, but previous yelpers say it was expensive. They were selling the large cans of Bud Light and looks like mixed drinks as well. Overall it was a fantastic night. If you dont want the noisy revelers sit on the under 21 family side but if you want an alcoholic drink you cant go back over till its all gone!
