For travelers who don't have their own cars, it's recommended to rent a car or take ride-hailing services or taxis to get around. Hawaiian Gardens is a small city, and these transportation options will get you to all the recommended places quickly and efficiently with travel time ranging from 10 to 30 minutes. The estimated cost for car rentals ranges from $50-$75 per day, whereas ride-hailing can be around $8-$15 per ride.
If you're short on time, you can skip either of the theme parks in Day 4 to focus on other activities. Alternatively, if you have more time to spare, add nearby attractions such as the Long Beach Aquarium, the Queen Mary ocean liner, and the Port of Long Beach for naval history enthusiasts.
