Visit: November 2023
If you lioe malls, this is definitely a place you'd like. They have a wide variety of stores, and the mall is open to the outside (careful if it rains), but this provides a unique experience where you're able to get fresh air while you peruse different stores. There's also an underground section with many stores and a large food court with a ton of food options. Also a food Foodland grocery store attached which is convenient
Very big and spacious. Lots of shops, restaurants and people. As we exit ABC shop, we saw people gathering at the stage. So we joined the crowd. Luckily, we did not miss the event , - presentation of Polynesian dances. We enjoy the show. Really a great day spent .
While numerous other shopping centers nationwide are dying, Ala Moana Center surges forward since 1959 with heavy foot traffic and hardly any vacant store fronts. Its central location (close to the edge of Waikiki on one side) and between busy Ala Moana Boulevard & Kapiolani Boulevard, make Ala Moana Center a huge magnet for local shoppers and tourists. // I love the huge food court (Makai Market) with its numerous dining options. And the central stage often features live entertainment (usually contemporary Hawaiian song and dance or more traditional hula.) While I'm not a fan of the high-end, pricey boutiques, there are many other stores in this large open-air shopping complex to keep you occupied. I also appreciate the koi pond and the well-maintained plants and greenery. And people-watching here can't be beat!
It's actually doing well this is kind of new. Most malls are dieing but this one is thriving. It is definitely upscale and geared towards tourist but they do a small luau display in the evening. You'll find shops for everyone here.
Fabulous indoor/outdoor mall. High-end retailers; Tesla, Dior, Michael Kors, Bloomingdale's, Macy's, and many more. Multiple food courts with ample variety of tastes. Live music and great people watching.
This is a VERY big mall and for this 70+-year-old, getting around is daunting. There is a lovely koi pond. You will find every store on the planet at this mall, from Walmart to Chanel and every other high-end outlet. I visited Target and the Lanai food court. I regretted the food, as it was low quality, but there are many food outlets, so some are bound to be good. The mall is easy to get to by bus.
Shopping at this mall is great! The brands are comprehensive and the service is top-notch. The food land serves great poke and know coffee beans. If really picky about the facilities, clean the restrooms more often, and add more restrooms. They are hard to find.
We went to dinner at Olive Garden, which is located inside The Moana Center. This place is basically a mall. I am impressed. I love the decor of all the individual stores. There were several open-air restaurants, one of which had live entertainment.
I have never heard of several of these stores, but they look inviting (they were closed for the day). I will go back and visit them in the next few days.
***Update
We went back the next day and had lunch at Charley's in the food court. We walked around for a while, looking at all the different stores. We had heard about pineapple whips, so we stopped and tried it. Omg! Pineapple Whips are delicious!
There was a hula dance show at the center. It was really nice. I really like this center. They have something for everyone. It's very clean. People are nice and courtiest.
Wasn't expecting that all the walkways were outside! It's seriously beautiful. Koi ponds and beautiful tropical plants. There's even a stage in the middle that had live performances going on the entire time we were there.
