There's plenty of free covered parking. Prior to theatre opening there are benches under a covered pavilion to wait. Purchasing the tickets by zones is interesting as seats are free for all in your zone. However, people are polite and you are able to pick your seat with no issue. We attended the candlelight concert for cold play and imagine dragons. The string quartet played beautifully and it was more laid back with the musicians engaging the audience. They played many memorable melodies and we were glad we purchased the second most expensive zone. The theater made the experience more relaxed and homey. It was good. The theatre is older so I felt the theater is more suited for a play than a musical concert. Acoustics could have been better. We will probably attend another event at the theatre if the opportunity arises.

We've only been part of the 24VII Dance Studio family for about six months, but the growth we've…read moreseen in my 8-year-old daughter in such a short time has been incredible! From the very beginning, our entire family has felt genuinely welcomed, supported, and included. There is a real sense of community here, and it's clear that the directors and instructors truly care about their dancers, both inside and outside the studio. Having been familiar with other dance offerings on the island, I can confidently say there is nothing quite like 24VII in Hawaii. The level of training, creativity, industry experience, and opportunities they bring to their dancers is truly something special. Just look at their alumni and what they've gone on to accomplish! The talent and experience behind this studio are incredible, and having that level of professional industry knowledge and exposure right here in Hawaii is such a gift. What I appreciate most is that 24VII doesn't just teach kids how to dance. They teach discipline, accountability, work ethic, confidence, and the importance of pushing beyond your comfort zone. They challenge their dancers, set high expectations, and encourage them to put in the work. These are lessons that extend far beyond the dance floor and will stay with them throughout life. In just six months, we've watched my daughter grow tremendously, not only in her technique and versatility, but also in her confidence, creativity, and willingness to try new things. The variety of offerings is another huge standout. From different dance styles and training levels to workshops, master classes, performances, competitions, and opportunities to learn from industry professionals, there are so many ways for dancers to explore and grow. And while the studio offers incredible opportunities for dancers who want to train seriously, I also want to emphasize that 24VII is absolutely a place for recreational dancers, too! Whether you're a child or an adult, looking to take one class a week just for fun or wanting to pursue dance at a much higher level, there is something for everyone. You can do as much or as little as fits your interests, goals, and schedule. That flexibility and inclusiveness make the studio even more special. Another offering that really speaks to the heart of this studio is their Heartbeat program. It's such a meaningful initiative and a reflection of their commitment to making a difference beyond dance. Programs like this show that 24VII is about so much more than running a business. And I think that's ultimately what sets them apart. You can genuinely feel that this studio isn't simply about making money or filling classes. It's about investing in people, creating opportunities, building character, and helping young dancers grow into confident, hardworking, creative individuals. The dance training is exceptional, but the life lessons and sense of belonging are just as valuable. We're incredibly grateful to have found 24VII. It's a special place with special people who are doing something pretty extraordinary for the dance community here in Hawaii!

This particular reason for attending was to see "A Taste of Ireland", which I had been looking forward to for awhile. The venue was about 2/3 full but there was definitely an air of anticipation when the house lights went down. Watching the footwork of the these amazingly talented dancers made Irish dancing an art form that few of us could ever attempt without tripping over ourselves. Then, a handsome young man came out and sang to a cheering audience while a lovely young woman with a fiddle dazzled us all with her talents throughout the show. We would have gladly sat through an encore but it obviously wasn't in the cards. Darn. Something I found out later after speaking to three of the dancers is that none of them are Irish, and the lead singer is a local boy‼

Fast forward to the present, and Nightmares Live is still going, but in a new location next to Flora-Dec on Nimitz, and they're even better than before! The quality of their scenes is top notch, and their actors did a great job throught the attraction. You can tell that the layout of the whole attraction is well thought out, and the scare plan was executed perfectly. It also helps when you have a couple screamers in your group to set the mood. They've also got some food vendors on premise, and parking is available at West Marine right across the entrance to Flora-Dec. Nightmares Live is going to be open every night for the week leading up to Halloween, so be sure to check them out before they're gone for another year!

I have to say this was a good scare. The costumes, props and effects were spot on. Many places are super dark like you can't see your hand 5 inches from your face. I had to take creepy small steps just to feel my way and get through this. Actors were professionally made up. it was difficult to tell if it was a dummy or not. I'm not one to scare easy but this place got me to jump twice. They have learned well how to guide people to the positions where they want them to be to get a good scare. And then when you think it's over, it's just like the in the movies. It ain't. hahahahha Some food trucks are set up in the parking lot so you can grab a bite to eat. Parking is across the street at West Marines. They have security there too for the safety of your vehicle. $15 will get you in but we decided to get the $20 Fast Pass to bypass the line. Special thanks to Kevin for setting this up again this year. Highly, highly recommend everyone going to check this out. Well worth it and better than most of the haunts out there.

For vegetarians they also have a veggie Falafel Smash with Chickpeas, Tzatziki, Feta, Tomatoes, Pickled Onions and Cucumbers. The lines were long and the wait even longer but so worth it.

I think they are money grabs and the prizes are typically cheap. I swore I'd never walk into one again. My little one spotted one on vacation in Hawaii and I was sucked in. Day 1, spent $10 and got 50 credits. Each game is about 10 credits, so it's pricey. We didn't win anything in the main games, but there is a game that is a guaranteed win. This was a life saver - my kid grabbed two squishes from that game. Good move on adding this type of game. There's also a little box filled with balloon characters they have out with a sign that says "free". Despite them being junk that will just pile up in my house, at least it's something. Day 2 - spent $20 for 100 credits. Started with the squishes guaranteed win and moved on to grab a Stitch. The crane picked it up each time and dropped it right before it got to the shoot. I'm calling the machine a scam, and we try again. Sure enough, we got the Stitch! Then the luck continued at the next game when my kid won a keychain. Were the winnings worth $20, absolutely not. But I'm giving a positive review due to adding the guarantee game and the free balloon. Of course, I'm likely being generous since we won tonight - but in all honestly this wasn't the worst experience I've had at these types of places. Definitely one of the better.
