A'S Party Portables

The Waikiki Aquarium offers a unique view into the spectacular underwater world of Hawaii and the tropical Pacific. More than 3,500 marine animals represent more than 500 species. The diversity and colorful nature of these tropical beauties are truly spectacular!

Take a trip to the bottom of the sea, all from the comfort of a private luxury submarine. The Atlantis Premium Submarine Tour in Honolulu descends to 100 feet and allows you to see marine life and aquatic animals up close without getting wet!

The Honolulu Academy of Arts was founded in 1922 and opened to the public on April 8, 1927. It was the vision of Anna Rice Cooke, a woman born into a prominent missionary family on O‘ahu in 1853. Growing up in a home that appreciated the arts, she went on to marry Charles Montague Cooke, also of a prominent missionary family, and the two settled in Honolulu. In 1882, they built a home on Beretania Street, on the site that would become home to the museum. In 1961, Thurston Twigg-Smith opened an art gallery—the Contemporary Art Center—within the Honolulu Advertiser building, which he owned. The gallery featured work from Twigg-Smith's collection and work by local artists. In 1988, the Twigg-Smith family donated Spalding House, which was built by Honolulu Academy of Arts founder Anna Rice Cooke, to create The Contemporary Museum, a private, nonprofit museum for contemporary art in Honolulu. In 2011, The Contemporary Museum gifted its assets and collection to the Honolulu Academy of Arts and in 2012, the combined museum changed its name to the Honolulu Museum of Art.
