Polynesian Cultural Center

The Polynesian Cultural Center spans 42 acres featuring six distinct Pacific Island villages connected by a lagoon system with regular canoe demonstrations.

Founded in 1963, the center began as a way for Brigham Young University Hawaii students to share their cultural heritage while earning money for education.

The center employs native performers from six Pacific nations who demonstrate traditional crafts, dances, cooking methods, and customs throughout daily presentations.

The center operates Monday, Tuesday, Thursday through Saturday from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with packages starting at $89.95 per person.

Each evening concludes with Ha: Breath of Life, performed by 100 Polynesian artists incorporating traditional fire knife dancing and drum ceremonies.
