Love the feel and history of this iconic theater. Great date night place!

Amazing magic, aerial, live Celtic violin, Santa show. Thank you performers and Elks Club Hilo!!

Got to see Makaha Sons the other night! My best friend surprised me with tickets for my birthday!Palace Theater is still a beauty of a place to listen to great music!Maybe an update for an air conditioning system would be nice....however it is what it is.

Its the bestAnd Vegan food!!!

Wonderful old place,run by a very delicate group of people. Many different venues, live music,films,old an newer. Snack bar, good price. Was there 3 times last month, had a great time. Thankyou!

Its an old theater with good acoustics. The staff there is nice. Still waiting for them to get air conditioning.

A classic theater perfect for viewing Echo in the Canyon. Very friendly workers.

Our first visit to the Palace to see Rocky Horror Picture Show on Halloween. Beautiful theater and a lot of fun! Vegan Curry from the cafe was delicious too.

Great entertainment today watching Gypsey! Well worth seeing, if you havent done so already!! Fantastic voices...such fun!!

So many people work daily to keep this theater up and running. It has a great following of local Hilo residents. It is almost an art house, showing the important films...not the big block buster movies. I have always been a fan of this wonderful old theater.

Great place to see a show! Loved the Fleet Street Singers performance in March!

Great program Volcano!

Though the place is a bit funky, it hosts a lot great events. I love attending the Rocky Horror Picture Show here every Halloween! I also enjoy the Burlesque show theyve been having for the past 3 years. Hopefully someday theyll be able to raise enough money to put in air conditioning.

Majestic old theater, that has a lot to offer, both in entertainment and historical preservation. Mahalo for being in our community!

Great shows but needs air conditioning or more fans..

Dah BEST theater in Hilo town. Historic and great shows

Great old theater in Hilo. Needs renovations, someone to love it.

Because Ive had many excellent experiences there!

Wonderful old theatre in downtown Hilo, this place is full of history. Fun place to catch some unusual performances and indie films.

Seating is comfortable, great advantage point no matter whether you choose balcony or floor.Weather was cool, so the theater which doesnt yet have AC was comfortable. Make your donations to help them with upgrades. It is a beautiful theater with great architecture and design.

Last two days of Gypsy, Fabulous show, a must go

Wonderful educational program on the Hawaiian Cowboys held in an historic theater.

Went to see the film Amazing Grace about a 2-day 1971 gospel performance of Aretha Franklin. Incredible

The Palace Theater has a wide range of events monthly. We have been to concerts, movies, musicals, and other special events here. We appreciate the vegan options at the concession stand, and the reasonable prices of all of the food items. The theater is beautiful with antique seats, adding charm but making them smaller than the newer theater chains. For those that get warm easily, bring a simple hand fan when you visit. The theater doesnt have air conditioning, but is fundraising for the upgrade. This is a wonderful community theater with friendly staff.

Really beautiful building inside and out. Very nice staff. Cheap concession snacks. The vegan chili is delicious!

Im a particularly a fan of the movies selected to show here. Independent and art films are featured.

Beautiful theater, very comfortable seating. Restrooms need better disabled access.

We saw a wonderful performance by N2Dance

An old beautiful, classic Movie House now used for local and independent films along with Performing Arts.

Funky, historic theatre. Seating is not designed for tall people.

Love this place. Old, quaint, held together with love and layers of paint. No air conditioning, but that can be remedied - just contribute to the fund for a new air conditioner. Dutiful, caring staff and the players and presenters give it their all. A worthy institution deserving of everyones support.

Beautiful location with excellent shows

Nice little old town theatre, with off beat movies and plays.

Fun and reasonable prices, even for snacks, always enjoy ourselves there. Building and seats are vintage and a little uncomfortable, but view of stage is great from all seats weve tried. Well be back again and again. Love the shows

Beautiful ornate historic theater in downtown Hilo. It is used for many community functions along with film, music and dance.

Loved the ambiance of this historical theater. Would recommend to everyone!

Its an old theater that has a wonderful history. It needs a little work. Lacks air conditioning. And is marvelos. We had the pleasure of enjoying Willy Wonka there. What a treat. Come enjoy if you are able. Take a trip to old Hawaii Theater and let the ambiance of the past entertain you.

The most ancient place on Earth..actually its been around so many years its a part of Hilos history as much as anything can be.sit back in this theatre and you can see yourself in the 1920s..I saw the Exorcist here as a child and Im still damaged..we sat in front row. So ...dont sit in the front row. A place never to miss when in town..truly original..

Great old theater. Many good shows.

A place of history and vision for the future.

Awesome show!

They host amazing local productions!

The art deco detail of this gem transports me to a long lost era..love every visit here...

The Palace is a beautiful historical building (1925) still in use as a theater - both for movies and plays. One of my favorite venues in Hilo!

One of best places to visit in Hilo. Dont miss it - esp on Tuesdays when have a mini piano covert 30 mins. Before film. Its like walking into the phantom of the opera. My favorite place!

This poor place has so much to offer, but with the need of an updated sprinkler system, and air conditioning just to make it bareable, hopefully the community will see it back to promenance.

We lovers of our small town Hilo enjoy the many outstanding cultural things to do in Hilo and the Palace Theater holds many events. Tonights showing of a documentary Lava and Sand was very interesting. I myself hadnt heard of Sandplay for healing therapy.....remarkable..I shall do it soon. Mahalo

Beautiful historic theatre offering live shows and movies

Senior discount, fab. old bldg., street parking..variety of events...plays, concerts, movies, film festival, guest artist...great community gathering place.

Not willing to share right now....

Good shows, nice staff, great lobby, but the seats keep me from going casually, to anything with which my family is not involved. The lack of A/C does not help.

The palace theater, I have been there many times and each encounter has left me leaving astounded and going home with many good memories. You can go with your friends to see a drama, or you could take your kids to see a performance about mythical creatures, or if youre a parent and your kid volunteers you can see them perform.

Great independent movie house that also hosts live events and live theater. Hot inside...but air conditioning is being installed and should be up and running by Fall. Funky 1920 vibe.

Historic experience

Beautiful buildingFantastic artists and performancesA must visit if you’re on the island

Love this place but needs ac. They are working on it.

Great music night and the food court was really nice and the ultimate fun !!!

Like stepping back in time. Reminded me of the theater when I was a kid

Formally worked here for 6 months and was a victim of discrimination by the new executive director Robin Worley.I will be contacting an attorney and reporting this to the Better Buisness Borough in the coming days.Mahalo..

We love supporting local treasures. The Palace is doing a great job of bringing thought leaders to Hilo.

Arrived early to hear the pipe organ. Impressive! Worth the visit. And it was pretty cheap!

This is a beautiful old theater with so much character

Amazing theater! Incredible old architecture and great movies.

Dont miss the rare opportunity to visit this lovely historic theater in the heart of downtown Hilo! While most of the once-abundant early cinema houses have been razed to make way for cookie-cutter multiplexes, the Palace Theater is one of the few examples left, and it contains many of the elements that characterize the style: opulent exterior, painted ceiling, colorful tiled walls, decorative cascading fountains in the lobby, live organ music, and giant velvet curtains. The Palace offers a great selection of independent films, Hollywood Golden Age classics, silent movies, and live concerts. Arrive early so you can hear Ron Mazurowski play local Hawaii classics like the Hilo March on the mighty pipe organ. Nearby street parking is free and plentiful at most times, especially in the evening. Conveniently close to a number of restaurants, cafes, and the Tsunami Museum. As of July 2017, no AC (which I didnt mind, but some may want to stick to an evening show and dress lightly), though installation plans are in the works. Although some restoration projects are ongoing, the Palace already shines as truly glorious example of a bygone era of moviegoing. Please visit and support this amazing landmark!

Good music. Old sad venue.

Worth preserving. Great pipe organist. Offers a variety of entertainment.

Great place in a nice spot to catch a show. They dont sell hurricane popcorn.

Awesome entertainment!

My favorite Theater / Art House in Hilo, cutting edge movies and performances including the HIFF.

Love this place, make a point to check the schedule every time Im in Hilo. Ive caught concerts (Keb Mo) and its a wonderful small venue. Love the foreign and indie films, Hilo is lucky to have these choices. Great old style theater, and nice selection of non-typical movie snacks.

Super place to go just check it monthly to see whats going on. Great place

Lovely!

Great jazz music tonight!

No AC but nice to have a performance theater in a small town

Cool old building

Yay for indie filmmakers

Nice place to watch a movie
