Before the Mall of America opened in Minneapolis, Ala Moana Shopping Center was the largest mall in the US. It has enough shops so that you can find almost everything you need. The nice thing is that the locals shop here, too; it's not just a tourist haunt.
I find it a fun place to hang out. On my last visit I found a lovely muumuu on sale at Macy's, had a delicious lunch at the food court, and stopped to listen to a high school choral group perform on the central stage. You can also spend some time watching the koi swimming in the pools.

DO NOT LEAVE ANY PERSONAL BELONGINGS OR HIGH VALUE ITEMS IN THE TRUNK!!!
To those people who are thinking of parking your car at Ala Moana Shopping centre then please read on. I have just returned from a holiday in Honululu and have had a bad experience at the Ala Moana Shopping centre. We have rented a car Chrysler Serbing convertible and parked our car just a few steps away from Sears department main entrance (location MW level 1 green area) on 16th March 09 between 18:30 and 21:00 hrs and our TRUNK WAS BROKEN INTO even though the doors and trunk were locked/checked. The LOCK OF THE TRUNK was damaged as a result and they took our bag with Camcorder, camera, sun glasses so we have lost USD 2000 values worth of items for a USD 50 shopping trip.
The Mall Secutrity and Police turned up and took a report from us and they have told us that the Parking lot at the Ala Moana Shopping centre is a high car crime area where gangs target rented cars and tourists alike.
So, my advice to fellow travellers who are thinking of staying at Honolulu to take the following precuations when shopping at the Ala Moana Shopping centre:
- Avoid going to Ala Moana Shopping centre by cars, take a cab.
- If you park your car there, take ALL personal belongings with you. DO NOT leave anything valuables in the TRUNK.
- Avoid parking your car in an isolated area. Look around for suspects who might be looking at your car before you walk away.
- Remove the 'bar-code' sticker in white on the windscreen as this implies that you are driving a rented car. Gangs look for this tag when break into cars.
Take every precautions to avoid any mishaps to ruin your holiday. We have lost our loved items and hope you guys won't have to go through that.

AN INTERESTING AND CUTE SMALL SHOP AT THE KAPIOLANI SIDE OF THE ALA MOANA SHOPPING CENTER. .
I AM GUESSING THEY CALL IT BY IT'S NAME SINCE THERE ARE ITEMS[SHIRTS,T-SHIRTS,ETC . ] THAT HAVE FUNNY AND SOME TIMES CORNY SAYINGS ON THEM..-?-?-?-
THE PRICES ARE WHAT A SHOP WITH THE NAME D&G WOULD HAVE ON THEIR PRICE TAGS. MAYBE A LITTLE MORE THAN SOME STORES MIGHT CHARGE...
IF YOU ARE AT THE ALA MOANA CENTER JUST LOOKING AROUND AT WHAT THERE IS..CHECK THIS SHOP!!!!
What to buy: SAYINGS THAT MIGHT BE FUNNY AND STILL RELATE TO BEING IN HAWAII...
What to pay: MAYBE A LITTLE MORE THAN OTHER SHOP THAT SELL SIMILAR THINGS!!!
