Well worth its admission fee. It was fun walking through the house in your barefeet. You leave your shoes at the door before entering the palace.

A look back in time of the Hawaiian Monarchy. The beautifully carved furniture, historical artifacts and the history told by the docents give Palace life. The grounds and views are fantastic. I can understand why the Hawaiian Monarchy choice this spot.
This is a remarkable piece of Hawaiian history. We went through the palace with a tour guide, and the history is impressive.
This is the only palace on US soil. Everyone tells you that. The woodwork and wood carving are breath taking. The history amazing, and the artefacts tell the story of the Hawaiian royalty. I thoroughly enjoyed wandering around looking at all the Hawaiian Royals photos, nic naks and reading about them. Well worth the visit.
I love learning about local history and touring old homes. This house is full of the original furnishings. The staff is very knowledgable and answered all of our questions.
Perfect place to witness the hawaiin culture. The palace has a good collection of artefacts depicting hawaiin culture and history. Many events take place here. The palace is beautiful and attractive.
Where else in the USA can you find a royal palace. This has great period pieces in it, and there are alot of cultural events held here. Nominal fee, and worth the price.
We stumbled upon this piece of history while walking around town. Pretty cheap and full of history. The docents were very knowledgeable and the renovation is really quite beautiful.
