Train ride and gardens very nice. Great narrated information. Disappointed because i bought 5 boxes of chocolate covered pineapples at $16 per box and when i arrived at home and opened them i found they were all white from age and stale. Definitely will not visit the plantation again and will warn others about the old, stale chocolates

We visited the Dole Plantation as one of the stops on our tour. It was pretty crowded inside so we got our order and went outside. I got a Dole Whip, which you can get in many places on Oahu, but it may not taste the same. Disneyland also sells Dole Whip and it's creamier and less tangy than the Dole Whip from Dole Plantation. My husband got a pineapple smoothie which he enjoyed. Unfortunately, we didn't have time for the maze or train. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here again, but if you're passing by on your way to or from the North Shore, it's might be worth a stop.

The Pineapple Ice Cream was a 5. The service and selection at the store was horrible. Went to checkout with two items. The store is open concept but you have to checkout certain items at certain registers. The 1st cashier was rude. Went to the area we picked the item up and the register was closed. Went around the corner and they said we needed to go to the previous closed register. You can sort sales by UPC and should have been able to use any register. Needless to say we left the item and the store. Get your act together please Dole Store!!!

Visited and enjoyed Dole Plantation many years ago. I was eager to visit again with my husband and dear friends. Quite disappointing as the entire complex is commercial, vast amounts of merchandise to sell — pineapple education was limited. Very surprised at the condition of the restrooms-needs to be heavily pressure-washed. Will not be returning.

We visited 10 years ago and I was really keen to return. However, unlike the first time visiting, it had more a gift shop feel (as opposed to an attraction). This may be more of a reflection about my expectations as the main attraction is most likely to be the gift shop. Here you can experience a range of pineapple based food products & purchase a number of pineapple paraphernalia. There is a little pineapple trainer that can be experienced as well as a maze. There is also an opportunity to see a number of pineapples growing. I would recommend visiting if passing by, but not making a special journey.

We were recommended to go here from a friend and we were disappointed. Not a ton to do or knowledge like I thought it would be. The train ride gave the most information but we didn’t find anything else to be worth it. Shop was huge and lunch was decent if you just want a shirt.

We were on a circle island tour and the Dole Plantation was one of the stops. The gift shop is full of yummy gift ideas and treats. Along with the most delicious Dole whip ice cream treat. I don't know why it is not a marketed item in other areas, as I for one would definitely buy this delicious treat.

Such a fun and interesting place. We did the train ride and the plantation garden…it was only about $20 for both. Train ride was comfortable and they shared information about the plantation. The garden was beautiful and self paced. Be sure to check out the store…lots of goodies!

We drove to the Dole plantation from Waikiki, where we spent most of the morning. Parking was easy. We lined up for the pineapple express train tour and managed to get the third train. They run every 20 minutes. Visited the maze as well as the shops and restaurants in the visitor center. Worth the visit.

Saw posted reviews about the Dole Plantation and agree with those that said that the gift shop was the best part. We did the garden and the maze; they were fun, but a little disappointing. I’m giving the benefit of the doubt and blaming this on the time of year. A great place to visit and everyone should see it and enjoy the story. Who doesn’t love pineapple??
