@ebonyeyes I think it depends on what your kids like to do and how long you are going to be in Hawaii.
For example, if you are only going to be on Oahu for 4 or 5 nights and you have kids who love the outdoors and want to swim, surf, hike etc I would personally say there things I would do first before the PCC.
If you have over a week and are trying to fill a schedule up then maybe it is for you. I have been twice. Once when I was 10 years old and in all honesty, it was a highlight for me then but I was a geeky kid.
I also went about 25 years ago and it was fun, the luau is ok but it isnt very intimate like some can be. PCC is located in a scenic area up in Laie, kind of the North East of the island.
The canoe ride is kind of cool, the hands on demonstrations are fun but I have yet to take my own family there and we have been to Oahu quite a few times with our kids. It just seems to take up so much vacation time and it is pricey.
PCC is also run by Brigham Young University and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. You may already know this and I dont know if that would play a role in your choice but sometimes people are surprised to find this out.
There are a couple of great TRs that include candid shots and descriptions of peoples experiences over on the DVC TR section. Here are a couple of links to give you a better idea of what to expect at PCC
