They will efficiently direct people to where they need to be, and strictly enforce 21+ areas so underage drinking does not occur. Parking on the day-of is $40+, so definitely pre-pay to save $10. Other tip would be to bring CLEAR refillable water bottles because their website does not have updated information; security informed me I wouldn't be able to bring in my Owala, despite it being empty. I recently attended Gryffin and Subtronics, both were great with good vibes and good people. Come early to secure good parking, vibe to local DJ sets, and enjoy the music!

This review is for Echoa Ridge Hawaii, the music venue inside Wet n' Wild Hawaii. The production…read moreand acts that they have been able to put on here is amazing. I recently saw Gryffin and subtronics and the production for both shows was amazing. It surrounded by these big rocks that they put projections on, and the whole sound and visual effects are so cool. They even do sets right at the wave pool, so you can be floating and listening to music! I did not go in the wave pool, but it looked like fun. During these shows, they even have some of the waterslides going. With tons of staff and lifeguards, of course. I will say that parking is so expensive at around $40 per car and if you don't leave before the crowds leave after the last set, expect to be sitting in your car for an hour before getting out of the parking lot. Security is pretty tight too. All bags are checked, metal detectors, and if you're wearing boots- you'll have to take them off and shake them out before entering. For the subtronics show, we got our tickets off of stubhub and when they scanned it- it showed that our tickets were scanned an hour ago. So, we had to buy tickets on the spot and then report it to stubhub. Not their fault, but a warning to everyone else. Glad that we were able to still buy tickers there, but beware and get tickets directly from their website.

Kids love the lazy river, small kid areas, even the wave pool with huge tv works for us. Is it glitzy? Hell nah, would I pay full price, absolutely not... but with my union discount, it works for us. You're unable to bring in food, but you're able to come and go as you please. Pack some food and snacks in the car, and you're set for the day. With younger kids, your options are limited, but over 42 inches, opens your child to many more speed rides. Spent last Father's Day there and the kids had a blast. There are also lockers, snacks and cabanas for rent, but we are not in that tax bracket.

For more than two years I thought Wet n Wild was for older kids only, but I was completely wrong. I…read morefinally came with my toddler, and we had so much fun that we stayed the entire day. There are two toddler-friendly areas with small slides and splash zones. Alison they have a lazy river, and a wave pool that became my son's absolute favorite. There are plenty of lifeguards around. They look very young but I liked the amount of them. My kiddo was happily exhausted afterward and slept amazingly that night (and even the day after). Few tips. If you plan to visit more than once, the pass with parking is absolutely worth it because parking is more than $20. Do not underestimate the sun. I thought I am good but ended up with a sunburn. The food options are pretty average and overpriced ($18 for average hot dog and fries), and the park isn't spotless all the time. Overall, such a fun surprise. We will definitely be back.

There's also a waiver that needs to be signed so going online ahead of time to arrange your visit is important. Once you get there, one of the volunteers will open the gate to let you in. Tours are informal and donation based. The sanctuary is now made of 1100 acres and is home to many of Hawaii's endangered birds. Can you believe that Hawaii is the number one place on planet Earth for endangered species?! That includes plants, insects and birds. Small habitat, loss of habitat, and small populations to begin with contribute to this sad event. The volunteers were incredibly knowledgeable and had loads of information to share with us. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. It was a relaxing, three hours of birdwatching, fresh air, and peace on the North Shore.

It was a very fun experience being in a group w great tour guides and enthusiastic attendees, makes me wana take up a new hobby.

Located here at Ka Makana is a little train ride that goes through out the mall. With about 5 little cabins for you and your kiddies to ride and a good amount of time to enjoy. Its $5 per adult and $5 per child. Children must be 36" or taller to ride alone. Hours of operation is Monday-Saturday 10a-6p and Sunday 12p-6p. Operations also depend on weather as this is an outdoor mall. Although its $5 per ride for my son it's worth it as he loves it all the time. The conductor now is ALWAYS interactive with kids and has a great personality. It's because of him we love coming back.

Or even the other way around. Since it's a kids ride, can even charge $10 per kid and $5 for adult since the adult is there only for comfort and supervision. Also, the last red cart needs to be more secured and not loose to prevent Accelerating jerking... the jerking during stopping and acceleration makes the kids scared because it's too snappy. I think if it's tight, the red cart will move as one and more smooth for the kids.
