Best Things to Do in Hawaii, with kids
Waikiki Trolley is 72% Kids-Friendly
Child fares plus stops for zoo, aquarium and big parks fit ages 3-12, yet no seat belts, no onboard toilets and long breezy rides can tire or unsettle kids, so parents must plan breaks.
Recommended visit duration: 3 6 hours

Nuʻuanu Pali Lookout is 71% Kids-Friendly
Children can safely use the flat paved path and learn battle history, but adults must grip them because cliffs and gusts are near. No real restrooms, picnic tables or ranger programs lower convenience.
Recommended visit duration: 1-2 hours

Greenwell Farms is 70% Kids-Friendly
