I have never done Luau- but I heard it is great. My kids loved Hoop De Doo when we did it - they were 5 and 7 at the time . They still ask to go back and it's been 8 years. I don't think you could go wrong with either - just make sure they eat the food. I don't drink - however at Hoop, I believe the beer and wine are included with your meal .
