The address and level
Queens Waikiki Luau is held in the Queens Court on the first level of the International Market Place, 2330 Kalākaua Avenue, Honolulu.
What the International Market Place is today
The open-air centre reopened in 2016 after a full rebuild, and today holds around 90 stores and restaurants across three floors.
The banyan tree landmark
A century-old banyan tree stands in the courtyard, preserved through the 2016 rebuild; showman Donn Beach once worked from a treehouse built into its branches when he opened the original market in 1956.
Walking from Waikiki hotels
Because the venue sits inside Waikiki's main shopping strip, most guests simply walk over from their hotel rather than booking transport.
Parking if you drive
Parking isn't included in the ticket — it's paid for separately at the International Market Place if you choose to drive.
A luau inside a shopping centre
The Queens Court sits open to the floors above, and guests often mention spotting shoppers on the upper levels watching the show for free, a quirk of a luau staged inside a mall rather than on a resort lawn.
