Location: google map
Website: Okinawa World
Parking: parking lot available
Pros: cave, LOTS of gift shops, dancing and drum show
Cons: very touristy, not really a place to learn about Okinawa's history
Tickets: check their website for different packages, children's tickets are for ages 4 and up .
We bought the ticket package (Cave+Kingdom Village) and got there around 9:30 or so. We went straight to the cave and that took about 30+ mins. There were many steps on the way down and they were wet, so that was a bit scary (scarier than the cave itself lol). If you have a stroller, about 95% is strollable, just the beginning getting down part has lots of steps. I would not recommend this for kids under 4. If we didn't have the older brothers, I would not have brought just my 4 yr old here. It is a long walk for kids and there is literally nothing else but the cave. I had read about this online so I brought lots of snacks/candies to help them on the way as they got restless. But from an adult's perspective, the cave is really neat to see. After the cave we walked straight to catch the drum show at Eisa Plaza at 10:30am, and that lasted about 30 mins as well.
There was quite a bit of talking (in Japanese) during the show, but overall I think it is worth the 30 mins to enjoy the traditional Okinawan performance. There were lots of other activities in the village that you can pay additional to try. We left Okinawa World right after the drum show to get to a restaurant for lunch.
