‘Iolani Palace

Sunday it's closed, recommended to have a audio tour before 12PM and allow atleast one hour explore ground and first floor.. You also have basement showing collections of jewelry and swords (15min)

This was my first-ever audio tour (I always thought people looked silly with them). But it was great. Listening to the narration and sounds of the period really enhanced the visit!

If you want to learn more about Hawaii 's rich history, this is the place to go. I recommend the guided tour as they're very knowledgeable and in-depth. Take time to also walk the beautiful grounds.

First built in 1879, the Palace was a symbol of promise for the Hawaiian Kingdom built by King David Kalakaua, it is now known as a national Historic Landmark for being the only Palace in the US.

To lay on the lawn under a shade tree in the middle of the afternoon close your eyes and forget the world for a while. Life is good here.

Take the self-guided audio tour . Depending on how interested in history you budget 30-90 mins inside. Chock full of Hawaiian history (1778-1893) then leading to US territory/statehood!

Fantastic view into the sovereign kingdom of Hawai'i. A must see for anyone looking for more perspective and context to modern Hawai'i

Beautiful palace with nice exhibit of history and architecture . A great place to learn of Hawaiian Royalty.

Beautiful collection of historic artifacts presented respectfully. Guided tour was very informative.

Walk all around. You can jump around the audio guide at will. This allows you to not have to follow the herd (who gets in the way of pictures).

Lots of history here, of course. But casuals like myself out more stock in this being the headquarters in Hawaii 5-0 haha

Restoration of Iolani Palace was made possible by the Junior League of Honolulu whose funding and historical research guided the process for its 1978 opening to the public.

You do an audio tour through the palace . Very important history and worth visiting.

The self guided tour is incredibly well done

Make sure to see the Crown Jewels in the basement . The kitchen is down there, also.

Beautiful place to visit for a stroll or picnic .

Great tourist attraction . Come pay homage to the king! And also a great place to get married.

Great place to learn about Hawaiian history - must see when coming to Hawaii !

Great tour . They keep it cold inside

This is the only royal palace in the United States and it is full of so much Hawaiian history .

Normally the tours are through out the day but... there are maybe just a few if you arrive after 9am... you’ll have to wait till 11am for the next tour

Take the tour and get a great history lesson of the Hawaiian Islands .

It was interesting to see the palace to understand the historical context of the monarchy.

The audio tour is well worth it!

Interesting history, military discount gets you and your fam in free

This is the only royal palace on US soil and it's full of artifacts that tell the stories of Hawaii’s kingdom . http://bit.ly/HTmn2m

It's the only royal palace in the United States . That being said, go visit!

Nicest lavatory in town

Starting 8/15/12, you can now take pictures inside the palace (but no video).

Great historical experience

Street parking meters expire in two hours. Towing starts at 3:15 weekdays. Park inside gates.

A beautiful day with my family

Iconic Hawaiian , empty inside

The voice tour for one extra dollar is well worth it..

I like to lay out in the lawns with the hobos...

Pretty on the outside - didn’t make it inside as the palace was closed

First place that got electricity

The Royal Hawaiian Band is here every #AlohaFriday..

Tour in many languages

Tours are a bit pricy .

The only royal palace in the USA#

See the Royal Hawaiian Band est. 1836 by King Kamehameha III, every Friday at noon on the lawn.

No cost entry to look around outside have to pay for inside

Skip the nap inducing tour . It's expensive and uninteresting.

Check out the green parrots flying around on the Palace grounds.
