FAQ - Park Rules

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.

Oahu 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 with aloha and respect.

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 for purchase at dining facilities and food kiosks throughout the Center.

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 PCC performers are also usually available to have their pictures taken with guests. Other pictures are available for purchase from Photo Polynesia, 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 purposes of promoting the Polynesian Cultural Center are available upon request.
