A beautifully preserved 1875 stone general store that once served the remote Kona Districts — now a free living history museum. Costumed interpreters bring the 1890s to life. Very limited hours — Mondays and Thursdays only — so plan ahead. Pairs perfectly with Greenwell Farms coffee tour just up the road.

The only family entertainment center on the Kona side — bowling, arcade games, pool tables, karaoke, and Chubby's Diner all under one roof. Cosmic bowling nights on weekends are a big hit. Great birthday party venue too. Open every day including holidays.

A living history coffee farm telling the story of a Japanese immigrant family who farmed this land in the early 1900s. Self-guided Tuesday and Friday. The real star is Thursday — traditional Portuguese sweet bread is made in a wood-fired stone oven and kids can help roll the dough. Bread sells out fast so arrive early Thursday if that's the goal. Free and genuinely special.

The Kona side's main movie theater — inside Keauhou Shopping Center about 6 miles south of downtown Kona. Multiple screens showing new releases, reserved seating, and full concessions. Check showtimes online before heading out. Note: the old Regal Makalapua near downtown Kona is permanently closed — this Keauhou location is the one to go to.

Owner Bob Cooper leads every single tour himself through his working cacao plantation — one of the most authentic and personal farm experiences on the island. Kids love tasting the raw cacao pulp straight from the pod — it tastes tropical and citrusy, nothing like chocolate. Tours end with a tasting of milk, dark, and rare criollo chocolate. Wednesday and Friday mornings only — book ahead. Follow OHCF directions to find the farm, GPS can be unreliable.
