Pearlridge features the island's only monorail system that transports shoppers between Uptown and Downtown Pearlridge. Customers enjoy a scenic ride with views of Pearl Harbor and the Arizona Memorial.

It also has two food courts, a miniature golf course, 16 theaters, an emergency clinic (Kapiolani Medical Center at Pali Momi) and an eight-story office complex. Between the two shopping areas Uptown and Downtown lies Sumida Farm, the largest supplier of watercress in Hawaii.
