More information on Queen Emma Summer Palace
This beautiful country-style estate was built in 1847. A decade later, it was purchased by the Hawaiian monarchy as a retreat for Queen Emma, the consort of King Kamehameha IV. Today, the lovely plantation-style structure is furnished with Emma's possessions and maintained by the Daughters of Hawai'i society. These wonderful women all have the true spirit of Aloha. The grounds are lush and peaceful, and rain showers occur almost daily. The old house is beautifully nestled in a deep canyon in the Koolau Mountains. Guided tours are given daily except on holidays. There is a $5 admission charge ($1 for children under 12). Purchase Hawaiian memorabilia and crafts in the gift shop. Credit cards are accepted in the gift shop, but you must use cash or traveler's checks to pay the admission.
