Things to do with a 14 month old baby in Hawaii?

We're traveling to Hawaii in April with our baby girl who will be 14 months. We're going to all the islands and I don't know what activities we'll really be able to do while there. We live in Miami so the beach isn't the main attraction for us. I purchased a baby carrier/backpack and an all terrain stroller to get around. Is there any hiking to do with a tough stroller? Carrying the baby for a month on our backs will not be easy. Any suggestions?Things to do with a 14 month old baby in Hawaii?
There are some easy hikes on Oahu that might be doable with a heavy duty stroller, boomer gal has one idea. Thereis also Koko Head (by Hawaii Kai) and Makiki Valley (which is wide enough as it is used every day heavily). Also Diamond Head is doable (not the rougher areas). There is a Children's Discovery Center nearer to downtown that would be fun and it features Hawaiana. There is also the Bishop Museum which might be interesting for a child.Things to do with a 14 month old baby in Hawaii?
One hike that is very easily accessible with a stroller is the Makapuu hike. It is a climb, but it is paved I see people with kids in strollers every time I hike it. It is just a couple of miles past Hanauma Bay on the east side of Oahu. You will be rewarded with great views of the south %26amp; east shores of the island %26amp; might even sight some whales.



Other places to consider include the zoo in Kapiolani Park, which is pretty good, but not world class, and the aquarium, right across Kalakaua from the park. It is very small, which is not a bad thing when you have a toddler. There is a Wet %26amp; Wild out in Kapolei that has a toddler section that looks like a lot of fun. There is a Children's Museum in Kakaako, just west of Ala Moana Center, but I don't know what age group they are appealing to. On the weekends there is Art on the Fence, outside the zoo. Although your daughter won't appreciate the art, she may enjoy a stroller ride whie you look at the paintings. There are always pigeons to chase.
