Of the two weeks we were on the island this was by far the best tourist attraction we went to. The entire day was well organized (although you'll never get to see/do everything in one day), our tour guide was great. The ambassador luau was good. I think the IMAX movie was a waste though, I would have rather spent... more

We really enjoyed our day here. It's kind of liek Epcot for Polynisians. You visit each "island" and learn about their culture and customs. There's a luau where the food was not very good. The night show is really cool. It's a very long day but worth a visit. Pay the extra money for a guide - it's worth it. more

Show was good...if you liked Lion King. Too much emphasis on entertainment, not enough cultural information. more

Our family ( 2 adults, 2 teens, 2 kids) visited the Polynesian Cultural Center in Aug 08. Its a good day trip for families with kids. The Cultural Center has different little shows and demonstrations that would entertain the kids throughout the day. The bus ride there takes about 1 1/2 hr. Its pleasant enough, you get a bus tour... more

I don't think my fiancee and I realized what we were getting into with this trip. It was billed as a Luau but it really is a cross between an amusement park, a museum, and a luau. This trip takes up a WHOLE DAY. The trip is well run and all the tour guides and performers are students at the... more

We visited the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC) in August 2008. I had expected the venue to be a lush botanical garden with lots to see and do. The grounds are well-maintained, but it wasn't the tropical paradise I had envisioned. The activities are designed to teach you about the different Polynesian tribe cultures. However, we sort of wandered and watched... more

My wife and I went here during our honeymoon and I'd have to say that it was definitely a cool experience! The price is definitely up there, but I'd have to say that it was well worth it for they keep you entertained for a full day. They start off the day at noon and the entertainment goes until 9:30... more

My family had a great time at the Cultural Center. We learned a lot about the Villages and even participated in several shows. We shelled out the extra money for the Super Ambassador Package and I have to say when I visit again I will only purchase that package. The package is well worth the money. You get your very... more

We had an okay experience. We got there later in the day and things were closing down. The park is divided into the different islands of Polynesia. If there is not demonstration or show going on at the island then there is nothing to see there. Make sure you plan out your day there to see the shows, otherwise it... more

My family had the time of our lives. It was such a blast. The people were all so nice & you could feel the place has a special spirit about it. It was so relaxing & entertaining. I was glad to give my children a taste of other cultures. This place is worth every penny. The Samoan show was especially... more
