The Waikiki neighborhood is the heart of the island, famous for its crescent-shaped beach. It is backed by palm trees and high-rise hotels. Nearby, you can see the crater of Diamond Head and the USS Arizona Memorial. The Pearl Harbor memorial is a must-see. The USS Arizona Memorial is a replica of the ship that was destroyed during the 1941 Pacific Ocean attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the island&#8217;s unique mix of cultures, the city still celebrates them. A Chinese New Year celebration is held each year in February, while the Cherry Blossom Festival occurs every month from January to March. The town is also home to the Honolulu Festival, which honors the prince who was elected to the U.S. Congress. In April, the International Market Place is a lively outdoor marketplace, with fresh fruits, vegetables, and soy-sauced meats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re traveling with children, the Sea Life Park is a must. The interactive marine animals and ocean theater make this park a favorite among kids and adults. Visitors can swim with dolphins, splash with sea lions, and even feed sea turtles. Other attractions include the bird sanctuary and the penguin habitat. No matter your age or interests, there is something for everyone in Honolulu. You&#8217;ll never have enough time to see it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in art or history, Honolulu has many museums and galleries. You can take a snorkeling adventure on one of the many reefs, or go for a more elegant dinner cruise. Whatever you choose, you&#8217;re sure to find a museum that suits your style. There are plenty of tours available in Honolulu, including helicopter tours and submarine trips. All of these activities will give you an overview of the island&#8217;s top attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ala Moana Center features a world-class shopping mall, with top designer brands and local galleries. There&#8217;s also a large food court and a Japanese walking court. Both of these places offer something for everyone to do. If you&#8217;re interested in shopping, you should visit Ala Moana Center. There&#8217;s a great collection of fine art here, and the rotating exhibits showcase the diverse cultures and lifestyle of the Pacific Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the museum, there are plenty of other things to do in Honolulu. You can visit the nearby beaches and enjoy the ocean&#8217;s bounty. During the day, you can enjoy a picnic on the beach. During the night, you&#8217;ll be able to enjoy a wide variety of activities in the city. At the beach, you can take a swim in the warm waters of Waikiki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A museum is another great place to explore the city. The Iolani Palace, the former royal Hawaiian residence, was the legislative seat for the Orient until it was replaced by a new State Capitol. The New England missionaries influenced the city&#8217;s culture and created an important influence on the city&#8217;s history. It is also home to the University of Hawaii. The University of Hawaii is located in Honolulu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hawaii&#8217;s capital city is the gateway to the U.S. island chain.
