Mānoa Heritage Center
4.7 (85)museum
4.7 (85)An ancient heiau and gardens of rare native Hawaiian plants anchor this 3.5-acre living classroom in Mānoa Valley.
Description
Kūkaʻōʻō Heiau has guarded the valley for hundreds of years, but the grounds also shelter the historic Tudor-style Kūaliʻi residence alongside five botanical gardens dedicated to endangered and endemic species. Exploration primarily unfolds through educational guided tours that bring Hawaiian history and native flora to life through storytelling, connecting cultural traditions with the surrounding landscape.
