Jan. 11, 2017: Aliiolani Hale in Waikiki – aka the Hawaii 5.0 Building

Ok, it’s not really the building where the fictional 5.0 police squad on Hawaii 5.0 work, but the outside is used in the show. In actuality, it houses the King Kamehameha V Judiciary History Center which features exhibits as well as multimedia presentations on landmark Hawaii court cases as well as Hawaii’s legal history.

I love the grounds and the  famed gold-leaf statue of Kamehameha the Great out front. We were both very happy to be able to see it on our recent trip to Oahu.
