Ala Moana Center
One of the world's largest open-air shopping centers, with more than 350 shops and a food court, directly across from Ala Moana Beach Park.
Ala Moana Center sits between Waikiki and downtown Honolulu. Opened in 1959, it is one of the largest open-air shopping centers in the world, with over 350 shops, from luxury brands and department stores to Hawaiian local labels. It also has a large food court, a Japanese supermarket, and free hula shows on the central stage.
