Park Rules

Can I smoke or drink alchohol at the Polynesian Cultural Center? 

Alcohol is not served or allowed to be consumed anywhere on the premises.

We have provided numerous smoking areas throughout the Polynesian Cultural Center. Anything that produces smoke or vapor is not permitted outside of the designated areas. These designated smoking areas are clearly identified on the park map you will receive upon your arrival.

The use of illegal drugs is strictly prohibited. Violations will result in immediate removal from the premises and notification to the local law enforcement agency.

What is the dress code for guests at the  Polynesian Cultural Center? 

Oʻahu can experience many changes in the weather, rainy one moment, tropical heat the next. We recommend you dress comfortably and wear very comfortable shoes. Remember that the sun can be harsh, so you may want to grab a hat or umbrella even on the sunniest of days. And don’t forget water! Don’t worry if you forget any of these items, you can pick them up at our Hukilau Marketplace.

Because the Polynesian Cultural Center is a family-oriented attraction, we ask our guests to dress appropriately. Shoes and shirts are required at all times. Bathing suits are not allowed. Clothing, tattoos and all forms of wear-able art with offensive designs are strictly prohibited.

To ensure an enjoyable experience for all our guests, please refrain from using profanity and engaging in unsafe or disruptive behavior. We reserve the right to remove any person(s) who engages in disorderly, disruptive or otherwise offensive activities. We kindly request that you treat all guests and employees in the spirit of aloha and with respect.

May I bring outside food into the Polynesian Cultural Center? 

Guests are allowed to bring outside food and nonalcoholic beverage items into the park for self-consumption, provided they are not in large coolers or glass containers and do not require heating, reheating, processing, refrigeration or temperature control. 

Inform a Guest Services Team Member of any food items when you enter the park. If exceptions are needed for medical or other reasons, please call our Contact Center at 808-293-3333. 

The Polynesian Cultural Center features a variety of great dining options for almost every taste and budget-including a wide range of choices to help accommodate Guests with Special Dietary Requests.

Because water intake in the Center’s Island Villages is important, we allow bottled water to be brought in and provide refilling stations with our water fountains. Beverages are also available dining facilities, and for purchase at Hukilau Marketplace stores and food kiosks throughout the Center.

May I take personal photos or video recordings? 

Guests are welcome to take as many personal pictures or video recordings at the Polynesian Cultural Center as they wish, EXCEPT during the HĀ: Breath of Life show.

Photography or video recording of any kind is strictly prohibited during the HĀ: Breath of Life show. 

However, souvenir booklets and DVDs of the HĀ: Breath of Life show are available for purchase throughout the Center.

Most Center performers are also usually available to have their pictures taken with guests. Other pictures are available for purchase from Magic Memories, the exclusive licensed photography concession at the Center.

The Polynesian Cultural Center does not allow any commercial photography or filming on the grounds without prior approval of the Sales & Marketing Department. Photo resources for promoting the Polynesian Cultural Center are available upon request. For more information, please contact our Marketing department at 808-293-3291 or email: marketing@polynesia.com

Can I carry my weapon into the Polynesian Cultural Center with a concealed carry permit? 

No. For the safety of our staff and guests, no weapons or firearms of any kind are permitted on the premises.

Per Hawaiʻi Concealed Carry Reciprocity Gun Laws: Hawaiʻi permits open carry and concealed carry of handguns on the person with a Hawaiʻi license to carry, which is only valid in the county of issue. The minimum age is 21 years old. Carrying a loaded firearm without a license to carry, whether openly or concealed, including in a vehicle, is a class B felony.
