Does the Hilo area shut down on Sunday?

Hello,

I am planning a week trip to Hawaii. I was going to stay in Hilo two nights - Sunday and Monday. We want to visit Volcanoes National Park and that famous waterfall (the name escapes me). I%26#39;m worried about booking on Sunday because I hear that everything shuts down. Is that true? Should I do Hilo on Monday-Tuesday instead?

Thanks!

you are correct....the park will be open so will be Akaka falls.

it%26#39;s mostly restaurants that are shut down on Sunday and Monday both. Lots of shops and businesses are closed Sunday or close earlier but none of this really affects the visitor unless you had a particular restaurant on your list.

On non-rainy Sundays the beach parks in Hilo and Liliuokalani Gardens are very crowded with little or no parking, so if you want to see the Gardens at least (which I recommend), try them on Monday to avoid crowds ... but if you want to see Hilo social life then go on Sunday -- if you can%26#39;t park right there you can walk in.

It depends on what you are looking for. Did you have something specific, other than the HVNP, Rainbow and Akaka Falls in mind?

Other thank Volcanoes National Park and Akaka Falls, I didn%26#39;t have anything in mind. I still have to research Hilo though. Thanks!
