The Maui Ocean Center is a great place to spend a few hours with the family. The parking is free, and the site is wheelchair friendly. There is a scavenger hunt available for the kids. Admission for a week pass is only $10 more than a day pass. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. When asked what was a favorite. Our little one responded "All of it". Restaurants are close, so afterwards you can enjoy a beverage by the sea side. Wonderful.
Great family outing. It was fun to look at lots of the local sea life up close. They had rubbings for the kids to do on their maps throughout the visit and we got a free family photo emailed to us. We got a better deal for tickets through Costco. Only 4 stars because it was a little small for the price.
What feels like the last big exhibit is a tunnel / fish tank housing large fish, sharks, and rays, as well as starfish on the bottom of the tank. The Ocean Center is affordable, too! We'll definitely be back the next time we're back in town!
Fun place for families. Most exhibits look to be designed for children (tank goes to floor with a step up to get close to the tank for viewing). Small and cute aquatic center. Lots of info and interactive boards in the exhibits. There are educational videos, too. There are ukelele lessons in one section and another area where this guy makes Hawaiian creatures with palm leaves. Free digital photo (but purchase of a frame) as part of the experience.
This is a great little aquarium. At first, I was disappointed that there were no mammals, but after making my way through and seeing the reasoning behind it, I am a believer! The Hawaiian people value and respect nature, and mammals need more stimulation than an aquarium can provide. Even though this would be a bug moneymaker, they chose the responsible option. Only a couple of hours to walk through, so won't take up your entire day. Great on-site restaurant, relaxed feel, knowledgeable staff.
We came here on a rainy day, not being able to enjoy the beach and all. Overall I felt there could have been more to see. (we made our way through in under an hour) Lot's of small tanks with fish you would see while snorkeling in Maui. They do have a huge tank with a short walk through glass tunnel, which was very impressive. Seeing three foot sharks swimming right beside you is very cool. If you have kids, they will really enjoy this place, as an adult, (minus the huge tank and tunnel) it was not super exciting.
