If you’re a movie buff, check out the Movie Sites Tour, which takes you to locations that you might recognize. See Godzilla’s footsteps, the fallen tree from Jurassic Park, the Windtalkers battlegrounds, the "penguin" road site from 50 First Dates, the house structure from Mighty Joe Young and many Hawaii Five-0 and LOST areas, including Hurley’s golf course. Some of the 1960s Elvis classics were filmed here as well.

There are also a few interesting artifacts and exhibits from Kualoa during WWII.
