Plan your visit

Morning and lunch suit the plaza’s dim sum choices; several close by mid-afternoon. Check each restaurant’s weekday closure before heading out.

The Cultural Plaza lists parking entrances on Maunakea Street and Kukui Street, with different hours. Read posted exit deadlines and current rates before leaving your car. The operator’s page has conflicting evening flat-rate notes, so no flat rate is promised here.
