Kings Village

You may be thinking to yourself, Ok, I understand why you would list towns as attractions, but shopping centers?! What could possibly be so interesting about a shopping center? Actually the Kings Village in Hawaii, during certain times, can be very interesting especially when the Kings Guard Drill team is introduced. It's a very small shopping center that houses about ten shops, give or take a few. There is also a restaurant, which I highly recommend, especially if your into the 60's era style. Now, your also probably wondering why they call it the KINGS Village. Before Hawaii became a state back in 1959, it was officially a monarchy. The last person to rule before the monarchy was abolished was the one and only Queen Lili'uokalani after which it became a US Territory with a governor. The Kings Guard represent the original guard complete with old style uniforms.

The show starts every day at 6:15 p.m. with the lowering of the Hawaiian flag. However, only on Tuesday does the full show take place. Before the show they have a little farmers market where you can get all sorts of authentic Hawaiian food. After the show, they allow you to pose with members of Kings Guard, even holding their rifle.
