The Groove Hawaii to Open in Kakaako

The first phase of the Groove Hawaii, a miniature amusement park, is scheduled to open in Kakaako on February 22, 2014.  The property, located on a three acre lot along Ala Moana Boulevard near Kakaako Makai Gateway Park, will include a go-kart track, a miniature Ferris wheel, swings, a climbing wall, an arcade game room and a small carousel along with food service and tours on Segways.  According to developer Billy Balding, a vertical wind tunnel, a zip line type ride and a miniature golf course will open in a later phase of the project.  Balding stated that the Grove Hawaii is primarily aimed at local residents, but will also appeal to visitors.  The Grove Hawaii will open daily from 9:00 AM to 10 PM.

The land is being leased from Kamehameha Schools and was approved by the Hawaii Community Development Authority in March 2013.
