One of the more interesting attractions at the Dole Plantation. It may not seem it, but the maze is HUGE!!
Pros: It is fun to have the kids try and find the 7 different stations on their ticket/card. Once they find a station, they can stamp/draw a special mark on their ticket to collect them all and turn them in at the end.

Plus, the bushes are not terribly dense all the time, so if you need, you can always find your way back to the center of the pineapple and back out. A few nice places to sit as well for those not wanting to walk...

But don't take this maze as a...

Kinda' tourist trappy...but I know a lot of people who really liked it. I guess it's not my cup of tea...not really for young kids, too dull for old unless you like to stroll around and view plants, etc. Gardens separately priced, train separately priced and train too. Hold onto your wallet in the store. Dole whip is delicious...
