Route
How does the evening work?
A Hawaiian history welcome opens the evening before you take your seat for close-up tricks.
- ·
1. The Magical Mystery Show
The show draws on King Kalakaua's visit to England and his encounter with close-up magic. Performers involve you in tricks from nearby seats.
The visit takes 2 hours from the welcome through the performance. You finish at the same Hilton hotel. There isn't an intermission during the show.
Pickup and meeting point
- Correct Hilton: The address is 2500 Kuhio Avenue at the Hilton Waikiki Beach. Hilton Hawaiian Village is a different hotel, so your route should end at Kuhio Avenue.
- Upstairs theater: Your show is on the second floor. You can use the elevator or stairs to reach the theater after entering the hotel.
- Parking: Valet parking needs validation at the show. Your first 3 hours are covered, so keep the ticket the valet gives you when you arrive.
- Arrival time: Arrive 15 to 20 minutes before your chosen performance. The extra time covers check-in before you take your seat in the theater.
Before you book
- Bring your valet ticket upstairs for validation. Parking is covered for 3 hours.
Fit
Is this tour right for you?
A 2-hour magic show suits couples who want a small theater close to their Waikiki plans. You can choose dinner separately. The appeal is close-up tricks and comedy. It isn't a luau, so your evening won't include a Hawaiian feast or a dance program.
For Hawaiian stories told through acrobatics, Auana costs from $111.67 per adult at the Waikiki Beachcomber. Rock-A-Hula gives you live music and hula at the Royal Hawaiian Center from $99 per adult.
Who it's not for
- Travelers seeking a luau buffet
- Guests looking for Polynesian dance rather than magic
- Visitors expecting hotel pickup
Good to know
Know before you go
The child ticket covers ages 4 to 11. From age 12, the adult ticket applies. Toddlers are welcome at the show, and the booking page sells tickets from age 4.
Your mobile ticket is used at check-in. A reservation holds up to 15 travelers and needs an adult. Your group can choose General Admission or VIP front-row seats for a performance on your date.
Smart casual clothes work for the theater. It has air conditioning and no strict dress code. Your evening stays inside the Hilton, with restaurant plans separate from the performance and its welcome drink.
Joining a trick is optional for you and your children. No guest has to go onstage. The team can help you step outside if a child needs a break during the performance.
Late seating can be delayed to avoid interrupting a trick. The show doesn't pause for arrivals. Plan to reach the theater 15 to 20 minutes early so check-in doesn't cut into your evening.
This booking allows cancellation at least 24 hours ahead for a full refund. Canceling later doesn't return your payment. The policy attached to this ticket applies when you book through the booking page.
