All About Love: Iolani Palace Impressions

I knew none of this before I went to the Palace.

But I heard there was a palace in Honolulu, so naturally, I wanted to see it. I arrived at the Palace around This was a process I found fascinating and a really great idea: You are assigned the earliest time available from when you purchase your ticket much like the USS Arizona Memorial. Wear and tear on the property. Here, they are so concerned with preserving Iolani Palace that they limit the number of people who can be in the building at any time.

This is terrific as a visitor, because you get a chance to really see everything without having to stand on your tip-toes to see over the rest of the crowd. I think every museum on Earth should do this! The other thing they do is give all visitors slip-on booties to wear over your shoes to protect the floors. I think I had mine on inside out, but whatever. Once your group is called, you climb the stairs and take a seat in rows of benches on the back porch.

There was no time limit given to me, so I stayed as long as I liked. In addition to the Palace living quarters, there is a Basement Gallery Exhibit that is worth taking some time to check out. It houses the Hawaiian crown jewels and historic photos.

We wanted to take the docent led tour but they were all booked. But I must say that the audio tour is This is the fourth time I've taken this tour, and I was amazed to see the new artifacts since the last time. I never get tired learning about the Ali'i and Hawaiian History. I have done the audio tour and the Dosen led tour and The audio tour was wonderful. Provides a lot of insight to the lives of the various Royals and what each of the faced through their various acts to hold on to their independence for the Hawai'i islands. Staff were incredibly helpful when you had any questions So we took a short guided tour into this historic building to see the sights, paintings, old photos and to learn about the historical significance and attachment to the old British Empire.

The gardens and trees around are also good to see. The story revealed in this palace visit is touching and poignant. The history of the kingdom comes to life with passionate and informative guides. The initial reception was poor with minimal information supplied and a sense of lack of welcome when tickets were bought. The palace is incredible architecture for the time it was built. Close by is other buildings , I go to Honolulu library building is an old Carnegie built library and architecture is very nice. Great photo opportunity here. I will recommend to my friends and family to visit the Iolani Place and learn the about the Hawaiian history.
