  • Review this attraction
  • 1. Blaisdell Park

    On the shore of Pearl Harbor, Blaisdell is a family favorite due to its pavilion facilities, shade trees, and children’s play equipment.

  • 2. Aloha Stadium Flea Market

    Ringed around the coliseum-like stadium, the largest swap meet in the islands is a great place for kitsch souvenirs, alohawear, and beach equipment.

  • 3. Waipahu Town

    This one-time plantation town is the hub for O’ahu’s Filipino community. Activities at the Filcom Center (94-428 Makuola St.) include the summertime Taste of Waipahu celebration, with its fantastic cooking competitions and food samples.

  • 4. Waikele Premium Outlets

    This vast outlet mall includes factory-direct shops for Sak’s Fifth Avenue and Coach, as well as Banana Republic, and discount stores like Lowe’s and Sports Authority.

  • 5. Wahiawā Town

    Primarily a military town, dusty Wahiawā, high on the central plain, is an unglamorous but useful stop-off for supplies when journeying through the hinterland.

  • 6. Wahiawā Botanical Gardens

    Founded by commercial planters as an experimental garden, this 25-acre arboretum encompasses a tropical rain forest and upland gardens.

  • 7. Pineapple Fields

    Spread across Central O’ahu are some of the last remaining commercial pineapple fields in Hawai’i. The Del Monte Pineapple Variety Garden (corner of routes 99 and 80) features two dozen varieties of the fruit.

  • 8. Pearlridge Shopping Center

    This two-section shopping mall (connected by a monorail) is especially popular with ’tweens and teens.

  • 9. Pat’s Island Delights

    One of the first shops to specialize in Hawai’i-made food gifts, from candies, preserves, and honey to coffees and flavored teas.

  • 10. Nā Hana Lima

    Wai’anae artisans have pulled together into a cooperative to offer locally made woodcrafts, carvings, prints, paintings, kapa (bark cloth), jewelry, and clothing.
