Ever got pissed about BS work stuff? (SMASH that monitor!)…read more That guy who cut you off (without blinkers) near University, have you foaming at the mouth? (THROW that glass tea cup!) That lying, stink breath, snake of a property manager who takes weeks to respond & overbilled you, make you see red? (SWING that metal pipe!) You ever feel so angry, you want to scream and break sh*t without someone calling the cops? (SLEDGEHAMMER that plate!). (All of this is being done legally & safely, of course, with safety suits and helmets/gloves, if you decide to drop some $$ and spend some time here.) There is a good selection of shattery breakables to choose. We were given 45 minutes but the two of us finished in about 20 (I guess we had a lot to unleash!). It gets hot in the helmet/suit, especially when you're expelling all that rage, so expect a good workout (cathartic even!) Call/check out their site for discounts/promos (including Kama'aina). Parking: lots of garage parking around the Ward/Kaka'ako area, if you don't mind a short warmup walk over.

Tried Out a Rage Room for the First Time - Totally Worth It!…read more I've been hearing about this rage room for a while and finally decided to check it out. I called ahead to ask about any discounts for locals or birthdays, and they told me they do offer a local discount with valid ID -- nice little bonus! They also said they had availability that day, so I figured, why not? The whole experience was super satisfying. Ever feel like breaking something at work but don't want to get fired? Break n Anger is the place to let that urge out safely and legally. Here's how it works: You get to choose 2 items from the top shelf and 5 items each from shelves 2, 3, and 4 -- so about 17 items total to smash. After signing the waivers, you suit up in a jumpsuit, gloves, and a helmet. They offer earplugs too, but I skipped those -- the sound of breaking stuff is half the fun. Honestly, the time flew by -- I went all in for 10 minutes and it felt like seconds. I probably should've paced myself, but I really wanted to let the rage out. No regrets though -- it was super fun, and I can totally see this being a great team-building activity. I'm definitely planning to go back and try the premium items next time!

We've been to a few discovery museums (mostly in California) but this one particularly impressed me. The staff was constantly sanitizing the toys and touch surfaces (literally, we would leave an activity and then the worker would spray down everything we had touched). I also liked that they had baskets for people to place toys that needed to be sanitized. Very impressive, and we felt very safe. You could spend HOURS in this place-- especially if your kids want to perform a few plays for you in the theater exhibit. All 3 of my kids loved this place and I wish we had arrived earlier because it was closing time before we knew it. I think this would make for an especially great visit on a bad weather day and/pr when your kids want a break from the beach or pool. If your hotel room isn't ready yet it would be a good way to let kiddos burn off some energy after a long flight too. If you have young kids I would say this is a MUST VISIT. For reference my children are 7, 5, and 2.5 years old (my 4th born is an infant and doesn't even sit or crawl yet so she was too young but I did see some older babies there who seemed to be enjoying themselves in the under 3 years old and under 5 years old zones).

From shopping in a grocery store and working in a bank to exploring different careers and everyday life, there are so many opportunities for little minds to learn thru play. I couldn't help but laugh because I remember playing "grocery store" with my little brothers as a kid... except we used real food from the pantry, pulled out all my mom's plastic bags and check books lol, and would completely mess the house up! Here, kids get the same fun experience without Aunty having to clean up the mess :) One thing that really stood out to me was how beautifully they showcase Hawaii's diverse cultures. The exhibits do such a great job celebrating the many communities that make Hawaii unique. It's educational without feeling like a lesson, and I appreciated the thought that went into it. Everything was sooo cute!! There are also areas for younger children to explore, creative play spaces, climbing and movement activities, and plenty of exhibits that engage their curiosity. It felt like every corner had something new to discover. I was pleasantly surprised that there wasn't a time limit on our visit. We paid $12 per person, and that gave us unlimited access from open to close. I didn't check out the little cafe they had inside, but you can be sure to catch me there next time. Haha! Personally, I'd choose this over the zoo or aquarium any day. It's completely indoors, so you don't have to worry about rain or the Hawaii heat. Parking is nearby. And let's be honest... Aunty doesn't like to perspire..lol! If you're looking for a place where kids can burn energy, use their imaginations, and learn while having fun, I highly recommend this place!

The ocean was clear and beautiful the day we went. We learned a lot about coral preservation and the animals while on the tour too. I usually do not like close quarters, but I was comfortable the whole time. It's a very roomy submarine. Having been, I feel like everyone should go at least once! We saw lots of different fish, 2 turtles (Timmy and Tina), an eagle ray, and the other side of the sub saw a shark-very cool!

If it hadn't been for the care and compassion of Maya, I probably would've cried. I get motion sickness, but my kids were so excited about going on the submarine finally that I took Dramamine and threw caution to the wind. However, after the 15 to 20 minute boat ride over to the submarine, I'm sure my face was green. Although the submarine itself was 10 times more stable and calm and felt like the interior of an airplane, I was very concerned I was going to get sick in front of lots of strangers and had to exit the submarine very quickly. I left my tween kids there to experience the submarine by themselves, which is fine because my oldest son is on two swim Teams and basically a lifeguard. However, the boat had to come back and get me off the top of the submarine and it was very embarrassing and once again, I cannot say enough about how well the staff handled it and didn't make me feel silly. or stupid at all. I even bought some of the photos to laugh about the incident later. We had already gotten the military discount, but they offered to refund my portion of the submarine ride, which I very much appreciated. I would recommend this company to all of my friends. My sons loved seeing the 9 sea turtles & Hawaiian wildlife.

Chad was an outstanding guide--friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly familiar with the area. He taught us the basics of balancing, paddling, and navigating the water, and within just a few minutes we were confidently paddling alongside him. We explored the river during the evening and sunset, surrounded by beautiful scenery, calm waters, and amazing views. One of our favorite parts was spotting turtles and fish while paddling. Chad also took great photos and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe throughout the entire adventure. As a parent, I really appreciated how relaxed and family-friendly the experience was. It wasn't dangerous or intimidating at all--it was simply fun, active, and unforgettable. The boys loved it so much that my older son told me he wanted to work for Chad when he grows up so he could do this every day! That made me laugh, but it also showed just how much of an impact this experience had on them. If you're looking for an outdoor activity that is fun, safe, memorable, and suitable for all ages, I highly recommend Chad and Nocturnal Adventures. It was money well spent and one of the best family experiences we've had together.

They offer weekly classes as well as private parties. As a parent, one of the elements I enjoy the most is the break I get from having to think and plan a fun and creative activity to do with my son (almost 5y/o). They take care of EVERYTHING here and do it so well. I can just drop my son off and then come back to pick him up at the end of his class. I get to have my cake, and eat it too! Of course, my son absolutely loves it and I've noticed his confidence increase from working with the teachers here so we will continue to come back. Also, other parents may want to know they have nicely managed their COVID precautions (mask wearing, sanitizing, etc.) so it feels safe and clean. Seriously give it a shot and you'll see what I mean.

Kelly was very helpful in explaining everything too, from the different nail polishes to all the cute accessories you can pick for your nails. You can choose to either do your natural nails or press-on nails. We picked the press-on nails, so we can keep them longer and wear them for special occasions! We also got some inspo and suggestions on the colors and decorations we can use. Kelly explained to us what we had to do with the nails, including putting on the base coats and what to do with each jewelries. She was so patience with us and even talked stories with us! We had so much fun just decorating our press-on nails together! After you're done, you can take cute pictures in their photobooth too! They provide props you can wear for the pictures and the lighting was just perfect! It's also BYOB, which will be perfect for a girl's night, bachelorette party or even a date!

If you're looking for a unique fun experience in Waikiki, definitely check out Bejewel Your Nails!…read moreIt's centrally located in the Waikiki shopping plaza (same building as the Stix food hall) on the 3rd floor. They validate parking which is a huge plus since parking in Waikiki can be expensive/difficult to find. It's a super cute DIY nail shop with tons of Sanrio themed items. As soon as you walk in, there's super cute Sanrio backdrops to take photos in front of, Sanrio bags/merch for purchase, and you start your experience wearing hello kitty socks and slippers (optional but highly recommend). After you enter the shop, you can decide whether you want to do their basic package of gel nails + unlimited nail stickers or you can do their upgraded package to have unlimited charms and gems and sparkles. I recommend choosing their unlimited charm bar because they have so many cute items to decorate your nails with! The nail shop is a little different than your typical nail salon. Here, you'll choose your polish (they now have Japanese gel!) and then Kelly (the owner) will teach you how to apply the gel polish on yourself. That's right, it's all DIY but Kelly is a very good teacher. I don't like applying my own nail polish but I found the experience super easy with her guidance. Once you've decided on your nail colors, you can choose from a huge array of stickers or charms to decorate with. Depending on whether you're using the nail stickers or the charms will be a different process but both super simple. And since it's all gel polish, there's little wait time so you can enjoy your nails as soon as you're done! What a perfect way to start your vacation in Oahu! Oh, and the best part? It's BYOB so bring some bottles and your girlfriends and have an amazing time doing your nails together! Kelly plays music for you in the shop but you can request to connect your phone to the Bluetooth speaker and play your own jams! Overall, it's a super cute and fun experience so I would recommend to check it out!
