Pineapple Garden Maze — Attraction in Oʻahu

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. Stations give you a nice contextualized history of some part of the Islands; great for kids alike.

Cons: The map is very small on the back of the ticket, so trying to navigate to the next station is hard to see for even good eyes.

Overall though, you can get yourself lost in there and just have fun walking around without the map. 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...

First, when we visited there, it was very crowded and difficult to find a parking spot. You may want to plan to visit them accordingly otherwise you may meed to spend a long time to wait and experience the facilities on the site. My daughter is a huge fan of the maze, and it's why we actually visited this maze. They are just fine if you visit there first time. However they do not restore the wall of the maze and you can just go through the wall to find the destination. It seems that the maze is not take care of the Dole anymore but they still charge you the entrance fee. If you travel and visit with kids, it is okay to experience just for fun. But don't take this maze as a...

We made a family event out of it but my 18 and 22 year old got bored before the end...It's NOT free....you pay for EVERYTHING SEPARATELY here. 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...
