Maui Ocean Center is an educational , three-acre, state-of-the-art aquarium and marine park offering a look at the vast undersea world of the islands ! Explore the shallow reef to the open ocean
This is a great place to take the kids... if you are a local, make sure to ask for the kama'aina admission fee. If you really like it, get the annual pass because you will be back. It is very calming !
Don’t miss the touch pool, shark & ray tunnel , or the octopus (we’ve also seen one in the outdoor pools hanging out on the rocks). You used to be able to sign up to scuba in the shark tank!
Don’t miss the 3D movie in The Sphere — just opened Feb 2019. Awesome 3D footage of the humpbacks that visit Maui, up close and personal.
Come by on weekends at night for Night at the Aquarium , it's an awesome way to see nocturnal sea critters. Plus there's booze.
A great aquarium experience for the whole family to learn about Hawaiian sea life . The new humpback's of Hawaii exhibit and sphere is an absolute must see!
Ask a Maui Ocean Center naturalist when they plan on doing a feeding next. Scuba divers feed sharks and rays in the big tank and answer your questions live! Read more
Go for the IMAX whale experience. Lots of reef fish in the reef section which was my favorite. Nice place to kill a couple hours.
Well worth a stop - not real huge, indoor and outdoor, friendly staff , very cool for kids or adults
Really nice place to take the kids, but if you can, go there later in the day or first thing in the morning when it's not as crowded .
Great Auarium for the whole Family. My favorites are the turtles and the big fish tank with tiger sharks and manta rays.
The keiki scavenger hunt is fun. And some of the things are tricky to find, so keep a sharp eye out.
Fabulous shark & manta ray exhibit & tunnel ! Try to get there when they do a dive to learn more & watch them feed the sharks .
Make sure to check out the 3D whale auditorium !
A very fun and educational look at Hawaiian marine life . A definite must do, and go see the turtle hatchlings!!
Totally worthwhile and on the way to the airport . I highly recommend visiting the aquarium before or after a snorkel adventure to turtle town !
Beautiful local aquarium . Seascape Cafe is good for lunch by the sea.

Really good spot for kids. We had a great visit.
Shark , stingray and tuna tank is the best. I could sit and watch them all day.
10 15 AM there is a shark story, 10 30 there is turtle feed and at 11 there is shark feed! Plan accordingly
Right off the highway, great for the kids will see some things you would never get to see or touch on the mainland!
For your first trip, get an audio guide. Worth it for first timers and to get the most of your money.
Lovely knowledgeable staff and the shark area is amazing.
If your visiting Maui, this is a MUST SEE place, specially if you have kids.
The sharks & rays are really getting big. Some have been there 15 years now
Make sure you take one of the audio devices. Just $3 extra tells you so much more about the fish , sharks & turtles .
Great opportunity to see underwater life up close.
Pacific Whale Foundation has an awesome camp for kids! Tell Karen we sent you!
Won't take too long if you're just there to look at the sealife. Plenty of learning if you want to spend a longer time.
Great place to spend a few hours before the flight home.
The best Aquarium in Hawaii!!! Excellent family experience.
May is Kama'aina month. Half off for Kama'aina and military .
