This home is well preserved and maintained and worth the visit. The downstairs ballroom, where visiting royalty and dignitaries were received, helps you truly step back in time to old Hawaii. The upstairs bedroom where the last monarch lived in the custody of the United States during the overthrow of the Hawaiian government sheds light on Hawaiian/American history. You should come away being very respectful of the Hawaiians and their culture after visiting this historic palace.

The Iolani Palace is a truly memorable experience especially if you purchase the headphone tour. The guide leads you through the amazing history of the Hawaiian Monarchy until its overthrow. The palace itself is exquisite and the secrects of its designs and inventions, way before others in the nation, are a surprise and a revelation as to who the Hawaiians were. My six year old was captivated through the whole tour and found the Queens's bedroom that became her place of house arrest to be very emotional. We all learned an abundant amount of Hawaiian history that day. A must see for all.
