Peaceful

This is a quiet, peaceful area to get away from the hustle and bustle. There is a cafe and gift shop, large grassy area, tables and, on Thursday afternoon, a local farmer's market. For an admission, you can go into the historical heritage exhibition area.

Beautiful Walk to Falls

We had our boys, 10 and 8, with us and we all really enjoyed our experience at Waimea Valley and falls. The walk was perfect in length for us to see the gorgeous flowers and plants. It's paved, so it was a very moderate "hike"...More

A little bit of Heaven here in Hawaii

This is a breathtaking botanical garden. After just about a quarter mile hike you are at a beautiful waterfall. Jump in and enjoy the cool waters. There is a shuttle that you can take if walking is hard. Also there are beverages, food and shaved...More

Fine for a peaceful walk

A few cultural activities can be found here, while walking through a fairly nice garden. Some parts were impressive. Not all. Not as many flowers or birds as I had hoped. We walked to the waterfall but they have lifeguards there forcing everyone to wear...More

Is this just an open park or do you need to buy tickets and pay for a tour? Do we need to worry about getting tickets ahead of time? If we plan to arrive around 1/2:00, is that enough time?

You must buy tickets. Yes, that should be ample time. You can swim in the lagoon under the falls, too, though life jackets are required (and provided).
