Aiea, about a 20 minute drive from downtown Honolulu, is home to Aloha Stadium, several awe-inspiring hiking locales, and a collection of appetizing restaurants. Aiea Loop Trail is a 4.5-mile trek with stunning near-panoramic views of historic landmarks like Diamond Head and the island's leeward side. Visitors will also encounter a WWII plane in the middle of the trek, a taste of Oahu's unique hiking experiences. You'll find unbeatable bargains at the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet, held every weekend and on Wednesday. Many of the trinkets and souvenirs found in Waikiki are often sold here at less than half the price. If you truly need to quell your shopping fix, try Pearlridge, Oahu's largest indoor mall equipped with a monorail connecting "Uptown" and "Downtown". If you can't take the heat, cool things off a bit by ice skating at Ice Palace. In search of a night of fun? Enjoy cosmic bowling at Aiea Bowl, where each Thursday is ladies night-- wahine's get in free. If it's the right season, you can't beat Anna Miller's decadent but delicious strawberry pie. Right below at Bravo's Italian restaurant, pasta lovers of all backgrounds will enjoy Italian delicacies, such as the delectable garlic breadsticks, while you wait. If you're looking for something more on-the-go, Boston's Pizza is a great bargain for your bite with a whopping oversized slice of explosive flavor that rivals the pizzerias of Chicago.
