Ward Centre

Has anyone done any shopping here? Is it any good?





How do you get there? Is it easy from Ala Moana?





How do you get there from the Swap meet?





Thanks



Ward Centre

Ward Centre


Ward center/Ward Warehouse/Ward Complex is OK it is quite large spread out over several blocks and about a block deep. lots of variety shops and a large movie theater complex a few good restaurants it is not far from Ala Moana you could walk or just jump on THE BUS it is a long way from the swap meet but if you are staying in Waikiki it is on the way to the swap meet between Ala Moana and restaurant row




It%26#39;s only about 3 blocks past the end of the Ala Moana shopping center to the start of the Ward complex. It%26#39;s about 15 minutes walk from the HHV end of Waikiki to get there, but it would be quite a distance from the Diamond Head end. Just head straight down Ala Moana Blvd., you can%26#39;t miss it.





What can you say about a shopping center? It has some interesting shops (SoHa has wild %26amp; interesting furniture I%26#39;ve never seen anywhere else). Kaka%26#39;ako Kitchen is one of the best casual food (modestly priced) places in Honolulu. Brew Moon and Big City Diner are both worth a visit. The complex has movie theaters as well as a Dave and Busters. Basically its a shopping center, spread out over several city blocks. Here%26#39;s a link:

Can you please tell me, what is a Dave and Busters?






Dave %26amp; Buster%26#39;s is a mixed pub, game arcade and restaurant.

Ward Center is OK for shopping. As stated, Dave and Busters is a combination arcade and restaurant/bar. Buca Di Bepo is another good place to eat there. It%26#39;s a family-style Italian restaurant that serves HUGE portions!




Hi BeckAussie .. you lucky thing going back at Chrissy! Very envious!





Last week I shopped at Nordstram Rack which is just behind the Ward Centre. We walked from Ala Moana Shopping Centre to the Ward Centre .. took about 10 mins ...





I also bought most of my clothes from American Eagle which is at Ala Moana.





Aloha




Pull up...';THEBUS.ORG';......



They have a page for ';visitors/attractions'; that lists all the stuff you need and how to get there.



Swap Meet is listed....Wed/Sat/Sun...I love it and go early to beat the heat.



Love Dave and Busters...eat downstairs then go upstairs to the ';arcade';. Whether you play or not it is very amusing and interesting.



Bucca de Bepo has always been so busy I have never gotten in the place. If you do go, be ready to share dishes. I heard they are family sized.



Yesterday was 86 degrees and killer hot. We are in a drought so I would bus it where possible.
