Absolutely love this historic site. You must tour it with a docent. So much history and information was shared. Ticket pick-up is in the building next door to the palace. Parking fee was minimal.… Full review by naiheohana

A lovely place to visit - self guided audio was informative and interesting. Only problem ( although minor) was finding the meeting place as not signposted. Full review by gail0d0nnell

Q:
We enjoyed our visit in March. I am now working on scrapbooking our trip pictures. In the throne room there is something stands between the 2 thrones - it is gold and has a round ball at the top. Can you remind me what it is called? Thank you!

It is called a puloulou, or “kapu stick” … the gold sphere on top of the ivory tusk from a narwhal whale between the thrones is said to be a gift from King Kalakaua’s 1883 coronation.

Across the street from the IOLANI Barracks in Richard’s Street is the YWCA Laniakea. Inside is a restaurant called Cafe Julia. There are a multitude of small restaurants one to two blocks West going towards Chinatown. A favorite of mine is Murphy’s Bar and Grill on Merchant street. Very popular and good food.
