Birthday party EXPERIENCES:

Your child and their guests will embark on a private guided tour led by one of our marine naturalists. Explore the wonders of Hawai‘i’s marine life, from the mesmerizing movements of the octopus to the graceful sea turtles at Turtle Lagoon, and marvel at the sharks and rays in our breathtaking Open Ocean exhibit. We’ll be sure to highlight your child’s favorite marine animals along the way!

(Recommended for ages 1-12)

Dedicated Tour

Calling all marine biologists! Our Junior Scientist experience offers an exciting, hands-on exploration of ocean science. Choose from these experiences:

  • Sea Turtle Rescue – Step into the shoes of a marine biologist! Learn how we care for rescued sea turtles, practice weighing and measuring turtle replicas, then visit the real sea turtles in our Turtle Lagoon.
  • Spectacular Sharks – Uncover the secrets of these misunderstood predators! Search for real shark tooth fossils in our special dig site, transform your discovery into a shark tooth necklace, then visit our 750,000-gallon Open Ocean exhibit to learn more.
  • Coral Explorer – Discover the magic of coral reefs! Observe live corals up close through a microscope projection, participate in a coral feeding demonstration, and go behind the scenes to our Coral Nursery where you’ll learn about the pacific corals under our care.

(Recommended for ages 7 & up)
