Polynesian Cultural Center
Experience All of Polynesia
At the Polynesian Cultural Center, which is situated in Laie, Hawaii, on the picturesque north shore of Oahu, you may learn about Samoa, Tonga, Tahiti, the Marquesas, Fiji, the new Easter Island display, Aotearoa (Maori New Zealand), and of course, historic Hawaii. The Polynesian Cultural Center offers the Alii Luau, Hawaii's most authentic traditional feast, canoe tours, special IMAXTM Theater presentations, genuine island handicrafts and souvenirs, additional dining and package options, and a cast of over 100 actors performing in the PCC's breathtaking evening show, Ha: Breath of Life.
The Polynesian Cultural Center is a place where the Pacific island people showcase their traditional arts, crafts, songs, and dances. The center was authorized to be constructed by David O. McKay, a leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) in 1962. The center was built by over 100 "labor missionaries," and it opened to the public in 1963. The center has since been expanded and now has a 2,800-seat amphitheater, several village houses, and other buildings, including the 1,000-seat Gateway Restaurant. The center is part of the educational and spiritual center of the LDS Church in the Pacific and is also a branch campus of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.
