Our Shopping Expert Says:

What has a downtown, an uptown, and a monorail system? Maybe a city? Or maybe its Pearlridge Center—the largest and coolest indoor shopping center in Hawaii. With more than 170 stores and anchors Macy's, Sear's, and Toys R Us, this huge mall is divided into two areas—Uptown and Downtown, and the island's only monorail system (called Skycab) transporting shoppers between the two. Catch an amazing view of Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial while on the monorail! You can also see some other views at Pearlridge Center's 16 screen movie theater. There are also two other minor strip malls that are part of Pearlridge Center: Pearlridge East and Pearlridge West. Are you on your way yet?
