 Highlights 
CULTURE OF THE ISLANDS. The exhibition hall in the hexagonal Aloha Theme Pavilion has numerous displays of the islands' history and culture, including carved reproductions of the old Polynesian gods, thrones of the monarchy and views of the state today. One exhibit depicts the influx over the centuries of peoples from many Pacific lands.
HALL OF DREAMS. In the tourism and Industrial Exhibits, motion pictures focus on the wonders of Hawaii. Elsewhere, wall maps depict travel routes to the islands, and a tourist office stands ready to plan the trip.
THE CHARM OF OLD HAWAII. In the Ancient Hawaiian Village, craftsmen demonstrate native skills: how to construct a grass hut, shape stones into tools, and weave blossoms, seeds and strands into leis without thread or needles. Beach boys offer rides in outrigger canoes.
HAWAIIAN EXTRAVAGANZA. A one-hour show featuring entertainers from the islands is presented six times daily in the Aloha Theater, built on a man-made peninsula jutting into Meadow Lake.
RESTAURANTS. The Five Volcanoes Restaurant, symbolizing the volcanic origin of the Hawaiian Islands, has an indoor dining room, a Lava Pit Bar and an outdoor area seating 500, where there are daily buffet luncheons. Nightly, a three-hour, 12-course luau is held outdoors, complete with traditional dishes, rituals and dances. For snacks, the Sandwich Isle Bar offers fruits, nuts and other dishes from the islands.
