Visitor & Driver Tips

While parking is generally free and accessible for customers of the retail complex, midday hours and weekend evenings can see brisk turnover near grocery storefronts and theater entrances. To secure stress-free parking, head toward the outer rows bordering Kane Street or Kamehameha Avenue, where stalls are plentiful and exit routes are faster. When returning beach gear or rental vehicles, make sure not to leave valuables in plain view, roll up windows against tropical afternoon passing showers, and take note of your lane position relative to East Kaahumanu Avenue for easy departure.
