This dislodges every single grab you make. Out of $40 spent we got 1 single stuffed animal. At least 30% of our claw grabs were solid pulls where the stuffed animal was firmly in the claw grip when it retracted. The impact to the top stopper is so abrupt it dropped pretty much all of them. Go to Mccully one, the machines are setup way more reasonable to give the players some chance at getting a prize. I don't mind some level of failure built into claw games (that's normal), however this place is a setup to be a 100% RIPOFF!!!

The inside was clean and there were two workers I saw working at the counter. You need a membership card here to play. Once your money runs out, you can reload at the machine or go to the desk. You can also put your tickets at the machine up front to claim your points and swipe your card after you are done. Most of the games were working so that was cool. Hardly anyone was there on weekday at around 2 in the afternoon. The mall didn't seem busy during the weekdays so that's a plus. I would definitely return with my hubby and daughter. They have so much fun winning prizes.

This Fun Factory is so much better than the Kahala mall one. If you read my review about the Kahala…read moreFun Factory, we had some issues there with the manager. We haven't been there since. So one day we were at Windward mall and saw Fun Factory. This Fun Factory is huge. There are so many more games and activities to do than the Kahala one. The floor space in there seems a lot bigger too. I liked that there was a good selection of kids games too. My daughter had a choice of what she could play. She had a great time and when it came time for redemption of the tickets, it also went smoothly. Of course she wanted a stuffed animal... They did have one to redeem for tickets and it was a lot cheaper than when we redeemed for one at the other location. She was happy and so were we. This place is definitely worth visiting again.

Tis the season for graduation parties......falalalala...lalalala…read more..... I attended yet another graduation party this past weekend at this venue. The Hawaii Okinawan Center is located in Waipio Gentry and is easily found by either traveling on Kam Highway or the H-2 Freeway. However, I would probably recommend a route via Kam Hwy for convenience reasons. The party I attended was in the Legacy II ballroom, of which the entrance faces the parking lot. I later discovered that the Legacy Ballroom is actually 1 huge ballroom, and it was divided into 2 separate areas on this evening as another party was taking place in the other half. Incidentally, the side where the other party was taking place was larger and had a stage as well. Although the portion of the ballroom where our party was held was much smaller, I liked the high ceilings so there was the illusion that the room was slightly big and grand. I believe there were about 18 tables (seating for 10) set up for the party, but since this section was smaller, there wasn't much room to have more tables set up if the need arose. Food and drinks were provided by A Catering Experience, which (from what I was told later that evening) is the catering division if Zippy's. The food served to guests at the party included Chinese chicken salad, assorted fruits, rice, noodles, fried chicken, roast pork, mahimahi, and adobo (which most of us thought it was sweet and sour pork). Besides water, fruit punch (very watery!), coffee, and tea was also provided. Lastly, the banquet staff was very gracious, polite, and kind. I was very impressed with the attentiveness of the staff that night, and their quality service contributed to a wonderful evening spent with friends and family. PARKING: FREE parking available in the HI Okinawa Center lot. First come first serve. Bottom Line: Clean venue. FREE and ample parking.

Looking for something outside of the typical Hawaii touristy activities? Jose Dynamite & Friends'…read morecomedy may be the perfect way to spend an evening! Located in O'Toole's Pub on Nu'uanu in downtown/Chinatown, there are tons of great options for dinner before the show, and places to drink afterwards. I must admit, since moving here I've experienced quite a few comedy shows, namely improv, and I wasn't impressed. Everything about Jose Dynamite was on the other side of the coin. My date Kristine C. and I both enjoyed laughing together! The strength of this show is the varied "& Friends" that change from week to week. As I've only been once, I only got to experience one group. I know I'll be going back to see more! I liked the different skill levels and backgrounds of the performers; they all had something to say and different ways of expressing their comedic views on the world. I loved the differences between the locals and transplants; they all see Hawai'i in such a funny way. I like how Jose himself gives different aspiring comedians a forum to practice with a live audience. The length of the show was also perfect; well worth the money, but not too long that we were ready to go before it ended. The host kept it flowing between comedians too, with his own brand of jokes. Jose Dynamite was hilarious. He had an air of professionalism and was naturally funny. I liked how he tried to learn the audience's names and where people were coming from. He, and the other comedians, were very approachable and friendly after the show. They were all clearly having a fun time. The room itself was very nice, located at the back of O'Toole's pub. They have bar service as the comedy show progresses, or you can bring your own drinks over from the bar. Unlike the main bar area, this room is non-smoking, so no need to worry about that if you aren't a fan. The air conditioning was comfortable. Restrooms are right outside the entrance door. It's an intimate setting, everyone gets up close with the comedians, which makes personal interaction part of the fun. Even watching the rest of the audience was entertaining: the quiet nervous people, the happy people, and the inevitable heckler. Take advantage of the Yelp deal if you're thinking of coming with a larger group. Also, use the free dessert coupon at Restaurant Epic up the street after the show. Street parking is free after 6:30pm, but it's a better and safer bet to use one of the public Chinatown garages that cost $3 flat for the evening. For tourists, it's also easy to get here by bus or cab. If you're a fan of the Irish pubs in town, use the free Shamrock shuttle from two locations in Waikiki to get here safely while you drink. This was a great date night, we can't wait to go back!

This review is in regards to the Zumba class I recently took at Studio 808…read more Studio 808 is located in the heart of Waipahu next to the iconic Leeward Drive-Inn. I've heard of Studio 808's dance programs but have never taken a class until I heard about the Zumba class being offered there. You can take the stairs or elevator to the 2nd floor and reach the studio on the Leeward Drive-Inn side. Once arriving, there is a front desk area set up in front of the studio where people were manning. You can pay in cash or Venmo (I did the mobile pay option because I didn't have cash). Fortunately, Studio 808 has also catered the Zumba class as a remote class so you can actually sign up for the class and dance from home by watching the instructor. Upon arriving to the class, the room was overall clean and spacious. Because the class is also done virtually, there wasn't many people in the room. The Zumba instructor was Erin and I have nothing but great things to say about him. As someone who isn't a dancer, Erin was kind enough to teach the lessons via virtual cam and in-person. The overall class was a lot of fun and I enjoyed the music better at Studio 808 compared to the Zumba classes I take at 24 Hour Fitness. I would definitely recommend to go with Erin because he's exudes positive energy, always smiles while breaking a sweat and definitely knows what he's doing. I was even watching the participants online (who were older folks) and they seemed to thoroughly enjoy the class at home as they would in studio. If you're up for doing a Zumba class in Waipahu (or simply at your own home), I would definitely recommend this class to take. Admission is about $7 per class but the first class is free! Classes are every Tuesday from 6-7pm.

This venue has been a mainstay at Leeward Community College for years and the first time I've come here since I was a student back in the day. There's plenty of parking right in front of the theater. To get to the theater there is a huge staircase to walk down or the other option is an elevator in the next building over to the left of the theater, if you're facing the theater. There are signs with arrows and easy enough to find but it is a bit of a walk because you're walking almost the full length of the other building and once you're downstairs, then need to walk the same length back to the entrance. For kupuna with arthritis issues, this can be quite the challenge. The theater lobby has a beautiful painted mural upon entering. To get to you seat, once again, everything's stairs up, then down. Women's restroom, down a short flight of stairs. The knees were practically screaming from all the stairs. The theater seats are nicely laid out and space between each row is good where one can comfortably walk to your seat without having to squeeze thru. Both times I went, we had good seats. The first time was in G12/G13, about midway and the 2nd time was seats C30/31 closer, left stage. The theater does get cold as the performance progresses so good idea to bring a jacket/sweater. The play itself was great! There was a cast of about 30, some were students and some actors with previous experience. It was a good play for the whole family with the happy musical numbers, actor interaction with the audience, and comedy. Add to the fact it was done local style with pidgin. The only problem we had was you couldn't hear a lot of the cast members no matter which seat you were at because not all of them were wearing microphones. The main characters were but some of the supporting cast that had speaking lines, you couldn't hear at all. This made it very frustrating to hear the play. I had mentioned it to the gal at the box office when I went the 2nd time. Especially at the start of the play when the bufo were speaking to the audience. I couldn't hear them at row G. Row C was better but not by much. I can only imagine folks in the seats further up couldn't hear anything at all. Overall, enjoyable play. The LCC theater is a beautiful venue with the layout of the seats. The drawbacks are too many stairs to get to your seat and hard to hear this wonderful performance.
