Getting in Touch with Polynesia - The whole experience was very well themed and the cultural center broke out the Polynesian cultures into an island by island/culture by culture experience with various events and things to engage with. The celebratory luao also had great food, the seasoning could have been a little stronger but the cleanliness and presentation was good.

Get a guide, it’s worth it. - It was an enjoyable tour for the money. Arrived by car just after 1200 and only waited about 10-15 minutes to get in. If you buy tickets online you can skip the ticket booth. After going in and meeting our guide Payton everything flowed very smoothly throughout the afternoon. I think we saw most of the exhibits. Having a guide is definitely the way to go. We finished up about 20 minutes before the luau started. The food was good.

Fascinating park with hands-on and performance venues related to the 7 nations of Polynesia. - Students at Brigham Young U-Hawaii make up all or most of the guides, performers and salespeople. They work part-time to support their university tuition. Everyone we spoke with was friendly and helpful. The shops were interesting (eg, a ukulele store), and the Gateway Buffet waiters and hosts/hostesses were very attentive. The Ha-Breath of Life show was very impressive. At a previous visit 12 years ago, we ate at the Luau and it was very good.
