Here is Macaroni Kid Oahu's picks for things to do on the island with this week of January 3, 2022.
1. Pearlridge Express Train Rides are still on! January 2 - January 10: Monday-Saturday 11:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. Sunday 11:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. (Santa's Helpers take a Cocoa Break from 2:00-3:00pm).
Keiki under 48 inches tall may ride on Hawaii’s only scale-model, fully-functioning locomotive daily through Monday, Jan. 10. A ride on the custom-built Pearlridge Express is an annual tradition for thousands of island families, some of whom fly in from the Neighbor Islands just for a day of shopping planned around this winter treat.
Each car will only hold riders from one household.
Tickets are $5 per child for the journey through a dreamy holiday toyland. For even greater value, 10-ticket Pearlridge Express ride booklets may be purchased for only $39. . Mauka Center Court.
