Hawaii is a prime vacation destination with terrific weather year round - sunny
skies, temperatures in the 80s, cooling trade winds "and when it" does rain here
in the islands, showers typically pass by fairly quickly. Still, even in Hawaii,
there are days the sun simply refuses to shine, drizzly, gray, chilly days when
hitting the beach just isn't an option. Instead of staying inside cooped up in
your hotel room waiting for the rain to stop with a bunch of restless kids, why
not try out a few of these family-friendly, rainy day activities: Check out the
Waikiki Aquarium, a popular daytime attraction that's ideal for those rare
occasions when the weather outside is lousy. Conveniently located within walking
distance of most Waikiki hotels, the Waikiki Aquarium is home to more than 3,000
marine animals with some 500 species on display! There are interactive exhibits
and informative videos to watch, and the price of admission includes a free
audio tour. Admission is $9 for adults and $2 for children ages 4 and up. Go
shopping in Waikiki at the Royal Hawaiian Center with over a hundred shops and
restaurants, or browse among the various carts and stands at the International
Marketplace for a souvenir of your trip or gifts for the folks back home. And
while Dad might be a little bored at this point, there's always Ala Moana
Shopping Center, the world's largest open-air shopping mall with more than 250
stores and restaurants, located just outside Waikiki. Take the family to Bishop
Museum and spend the day exploring the largest museum in the state of Hawaii,
full of exhibits featuring native Hawaiian artifacts and collections of
photography and artwork chronicling the history of these islands. If that seems
like a tough sell for the kiddies, the museum's Animation! Exhibition (currently
on display until May 25th) features popular characters from the Cartoon Network
and provides a fun and educational look inside the process of animating your
kids' favorite cartoons, from character design and storyboarding to voice-over
work and visual effects. Bishop Museum is located in Kalihi about 20 minutes
outside of Waikiki so to get there you'll need to either catch a bus or drive.
There are other options available as well: you can always check out what's
playing in the local movie theaters (the Ward Stadium 16 Theaters are your best
bet if you're staying in Waikiki) or (get this) book a tour with Atlantis
Submarines and dive below the water's surface to avoid getting wet! Whatever you
decide to do, rainfall tends to be fairly localized in Hawaii, so while it may
be raining in one area of the island, there's always a good chance it's sunny
and fair elsewhere. The next time it rains, just hop in your rental car and
drive; before long you'll be saying, "Aloha!" to gray skies and, well, "Aloha!"
to sunny weather instead!
