DISCOVER THE AQUARIUM OF HAWAIʻI

The site was Awesome to see these animals live in their made up environment. Which really looked much like ocean waters. But to walk under the pipe tunnel as the swam over your head was pretty Fantastic as well. For Kids it will be a site they will remember all their lives. A MUST SEE! Plus . The people there are Fantastic!

Loved the new whale exhibit in the sphere and the coral reef exhibit. So cool to see what we saw snorkeling up close!

Maui Ocean Center offers a great variety of viewable and touchable items. This variety keeps the interest of the entire family. I recommend giving yourself 2-3 hours to enjoy this facility. Don't rush, or you will miss something.

Good for small kids. They had loads of fun watching sea turtles, sharks, sting ray and other colorful sea animals. The restaurant was good too, a bit expensive though.

Beautiful aquarium. Smaller than we expected but very well laid out. A nice place to visit, especially with younger children. IMAX movie about the whales at the end was particularly spectacular.

My wife and I needed a day out of the sun. We went to see the underwater world of the Pacific. We. really loved the 3D "video" of whales. So real and an interesting piece of art. The parking system is interesting so pay by phone or get a ticket. We visited and there were lots of small toddlers who loved all the fish and excitement. We had lunch at the main restaurant which was surprisingly very good. Hence, we had pie for dessert. It was well worth the money and to support a great cause.

We missed the 3D Sphere experience because I was so absorbed. I’m not much for museums but I do love learning and this place wowed me! The live aquariums throughout were beautiful and accompanied by tons of really interesting information. Go earlier in the day. We went around 1pm which was part of the reason we missed the Humpback 3D Sphere. We had a late lunch at the restaurant on site “Seascape”. Over a week long trip to Maui including our time at the Four Seasons resort this was the best meal! Bring a camera! Some of the most beautiful sights of our trip were in these aquariums.

If it were a bit bigger it would be a 5. The whale 3D show was amazing, sitting in a dome like a planetarium. The exhibit on the history of the islands and reclamation from Army use for bombing practice was fascinating. Those two exhibits were worth the price. The actual marine life exhibits were more geared to families I felt. Parking is extra.

With a great Kamaaina rate, this was a great family day. Don't miss the Whale sphere as it is an amazing experience. We definitely enjoyed ourselves.

Being a resident of Maui, I am thrilled to have such a high-quality attraction to visit again and again. We have been to a lot of aquariums over the years and this one was one of the best! The exhibits are well marked and interesting and the reef was amazing. Make sure to go to the humpback whale movie - I don't want to spoil it by telling too much, but imagine a top notch planetarium, but under water and about whales. It's spectacular.

We loved the Maui Ocean Center and found it to be the perfect activity to do while we were waiting for our evening flight home from Maui. We enjoyed the indoor and outdoor exhibits and the walk-through aquarium tunnel, where you can view many kinds of fish and sharks. The highlight of the day was the 3-D IMAX movie about Humpback whales. You actually felt like you were swimming right next the whales! I would highly recommend the Maui Ocean Center for young and old alike, and especially for families.

We needed a leisurely activity before hopping on the plane and this more than fit the bill. The 3D whale movie was incredible! Staff onsite were very helpful and knowledgeable. We enjoyed lunch at their on-site restaurant which provided views overlooking the harbor.
