The Byodo-In Temple – Sacred grounds, so respect must be shown at all times.  Admission to the Byodo-In Temple grounds is $3.00 per adult, $2.00 senior citizen, $1.00 child. Cash only. See our visit HERE

Waikiki Aquarium – Reasonable rates for Kama'aina and Military.  $8 13-64yo, $5 4-12yo and 65+, under 4 FREE.  We didn’t find it worth a pass when we were there, especially since 2 of my 3 kids were FREE.  Sometimes they have little programs going on, at no extra cost.  This day they had a WHALE presentation

Dole Plantation – Also has discount rates for Kama'aina and Military.  The train ride is $5 for adults, $4 for child.  The Maze is $4.50 adult, $4.25 child.  They have awesome Dole Whip Ice Cream or Dole Floats!  Which I believe you can also receive discount on (though I didn’t realize it when we visited).  Here is our trip
