UH Mānoa's Baseball field as a graduation venue is the absolute worst!…read moreIts such a far walk for families (children and elderly alike) from the parking garage. The rules they implemented during graduation were simply not enforced either. No rubbish, strollers, carts, etc. The amount of people who broke the rules was ridiculous. Many of us followed the guidelines and that made attending graduation incredibly difficult (ex. carrying your babies due to no stroller). They should rereview how they handle graduation crowds and get the right amount of staff to enforce it.

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.

Ok... so depending on what you're going here for and why. Not everyone likes to be indoors cause it…read morecan get hot and the worst part of this place is the bathrooms. It's so off and confusing to where it's at. But, it is a decent place to have most events! If it's for a concert... Like we just went to for UB40? UH DUH!!! TOTALLY % YES!!! Why? Cause you'll be able to enjoy the show and SEE IT from the seats your in rather than watch los rod it ON A JUMBO SCREEN. Plus too, there are different choices of seating. Most people love the UPPER LEVELS. Yet, the stairs are a killer! AND... NO BARS so everything is balance and grace. But if your like me who USE TO LOVE IT, but don't anymore cause you worry your legs will give... well, there's the ground floor that has bleachers of seats. The seats are so much better NOW than they were before. So, highly recommend the ground floor for those who refuses to walk up stairs. Then there's the lodges. K those are GREAT, yet, my fear is falling OVER the ledge. And the stairs you MIST WALM UP to get there too! Lol! It's been a while since I've sat in this arena for anything. I think the last time was for a concert back in 2013! LADIES OF THE 80's with the hubby. Hehehe there were so much hubbies there that night. It was unbelievable! Anywho... great place to be at for events, concerts and whatnot. But terrible place to use heels and tight clothes (if you know what I mean) Oh! Prices varies with type of events and I truly honestly believe it's absolutely RIDICULOUS sometimes. However, I get it, bills must be paid and people must be bought to make the event go smoothly! Okie dokes artichokes! Have a good one and mahalo for reading... CIAO!

A friend of mine could not go to Tahiti Fete so I went instead with one of our other friends. 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.

Five stars! Highly…read morerecommended. A nice and clean stadium. A great artificial field with newer lookkkg field turf. Benches are made of concrete, so bring a seat pad for your comfort.

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.

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!

The inside was clean and there were two workers I saw working at the counter. You need a membership card here to play. Once your money runs out, you can reload at the machine or go to the desk. You can also put your tickets at the machine up front to claim your points and swipe your card after you are done. Most of the games were working so that was cool. Hardly anyone was there on weekday at around 2 in the afternoon. The mall didn't seem busy during the weekdays so that's a plus. I would definitely return with my hubby and daughter. They have so much fun winning prizes.

This Fun Factory is so much better than the Kahala mall one. If you read my review about the Kahala…read moreFun Factory, we had some issues there with the manager. We haven't been there since. So one day we were at Windward mall and saw Fun Factory. This Fun Factory is huge. There are so many more games and activities to do than the Kahala one. The floor space in there seems a lot bigger too. I liked that there was a good selection of kids games too. My daughter had a choice of what she could play. She had a great time and when it came time for redemption of the tickets, it also went smoothly. Of course she wanted a stuffed animal... They did have one to redeem for tickets and it was a lot cheaper than when we redeemed for one at the other location. She was happy and so were we. This place is definitely worth visiting again.

I had always looked forward to playing golf once I moved to Hawaii, so while I was still in Japan,…read moreI took lessons diligently with a professional. However, my shoulder unfortunately developed a recurring dislocation that worsened over time, and I was forced to give up golf despite my reluctance. Even so, thanks to my golf-loving friends, I still feel excited just looking at a beautiful green, even if I can't play anymore. This time, I visited Oahu Country Club for a party hosted by my lawyer's firm. The event was held in a private banquet room overlooking the lush greens, and it was a wonderful experience with delicious food, drinks, and pleasant live music. As expected, the clubhouse cuisine was refined and impressive. There was even a nigiri sushi station, which made me especially happy as a Japanese guest. The club is conveniently located about a 14-15 minute drive from my home. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that even non-golfers can become members, so I immediately started looking into it (laugh). After all, being able to enjoy great food and wine while taking in such a beautiful view sounded very appealing. Unfortunately, the membership fee comes with about six zeros in USD, and we quickly gave up the idea... That said, it definitely reignited my passion for golf. The course at Oahu Country Club is set within a forest and features significant elevation changes, making it quite challenging for beginners. However, it offers a fantastic opportunity to enjoy golf surrounded by nature. The clubhouse itself has a casual atmosphere, but there is a dress code--such as wearing collared shirts--so don't forget to check your outfit before heading in for a meal. ハワイに住んだらゴルフを楽しもうと決めていたので、日本ではプロについて熱心にレッスンに通っていました。ところが、まさかの肩の脱臼が癖になり悪化してしまい、泣く泣くゴルフを諦めざるを得なくなりました。 それでもゴルフ好きな友人の影響もあり、たとえプレーができなくても、今でもグリーンを見るだけでワクワクします。 今回は弁護士の会社が主催するパーティーで、オアフカントリークラブを訪れました。バンケットルームを貸し切ったパーティーでは、グリーンを一望しながら、美味しい料理とお酒、そして心地よいライブミュージックを楽しむことができ、大いに盛り上がりました。 期待通り、クラブハウスの料理は洗練されていて、握り寿司のコーナーもあり、日本人の私には特に嬉しかったです。 オアフカントリークラブは自宅から車で14〜15分ほどの距離にあり、ゴルフをしない私たちでもメンバーになれると知って、早速いろいろ調べてみました。というのも、この景色を眺めながらワイン片手に美味しい料理が楽しめるなら、ノンゴルファーでも会員になりたいと思ったからです。 しかし残念ながら、メンバーシップ費用はドルでゼロが6つ並ぶほどの高額で、それを見た瞬間あっさり断念しました...(笑笑 それでも、ゴルフへの情熱が再燃したことは間違いありません。 オアフカントリーのコースは森林の中にあり、起伏が激しく初心者には少しハードですが、大自然の中でゴルフを満喫できる魅力的なコースだと思います。 クラブハウスはカジュアルな雰囲気ですが、基本的に襟付きシャツ着用などのドレスコードがあります。食事の際には、服装チェックをお忘れなく!
