January may not be the best time to visit this garden. Very little blooming. Needed a clean up. Clearly we visited before spring cleaning. Still a pleasent outdoor walk. Good signage and sel guided tour.

If you are looking for something different to do then this is a lot of fun. We sort of went at the wrong time of year...slightly before anything was blooming, but we still had a nice time. The butterfly garden is not what you'd expect (not in a closed building where they land on you), but still nice to view.... More

We found the gardens by accident and we were very impressed. It contains a wonderful collection of palms and other tropical trees from around the world. Don't miss the greenhouse with a great collection of orchids and other beautiful flowers.

This has to be the poorest and least well marked attraction in all of Oahu. We had to drive by the place 2 or 3 times to even figure out where the entrance was located. No signage and after all the effort, the place was not a very attractive arboretum. Parts were very overgrown and needs much weeding and TLC.

What a beautiful and peaceful place. The place is absolutely free and it is a jewel of a find. Not the easiest place to locate as you travel through some rough neighborhoods - but once you turn the corner into the park - HEAVEN on Earth! Flowers, waterfalls, it is like no place else on the island. YOU don't want... More

I much enjoyed my visit during a very windy day. The cashier suggested that it would take me 1 1/2 hours but I stayed for 3 hours. The rainbow eucalyptus is remarkable. It is a botanical collection more than a garden. It is peaceful and educationaly but it isn't a highly groomed flower garden. I suspect that many that go... More

Your reaction the these gardens will all depend on your expectations. IF you go expecting all kinds of dazzling tropical blooms, you will be disappointed. If you go to get away from the hurley burley of Honolulu and enjoy learning about the fascinating varieties of palms and other tropical trees you will have an enjoyable time. There are usually very... More

the park is right in the middle of the city... you can view it as a plus that you don't have to drive miles to access it... the traffic on the road is audible and visible in the first part of the garden with the square of the oldest trees and does detract from the magnificence of the trees... but...
