The question of whether or not to visit The Polynesian Cultural Center, much like most everything else on Tiki Central these days, depends entirely on your priorities. Please find below the two choices based on priorities.

YES

1. You seek out and appreciate the "Golden Age" of Tiki in Hawaii, or more specifically, on Oahu, and its history. (Opened in 1963, "Hukilau," Elvis in "Paradise Hawaiian Style," etc.)
2. You are interested in seeing the most Oceanic Art/Tikis in a single place of anywhere on Oahu other than The Bishop Museum.
3. You are interested in the indigenous cultures of the Pacific Ocean
4. You appreciate a beautiful, slow coastal drive with some of the most stunning views anywhere in the world

NO

1. You can't visit a family tourist attraction even for a few hours without imbibing alcohol
2. While even on vacation in Hawaii, you are still worrying about how much entrance costs might be
3. You are more concerned with the destination than the journey
4. You're so pressed for time that you'll be looking at your watch the entire visit
