Maui Ocean Center

Maui Ocean Center is Hawaii's premier aquarium, located in Wailuku on the island of Maui, and is celebrated for its immersive exhibits featuring living coral reefs, sharks, rays, and Hawaiian green sea turtles. A highlight of the facility is its 3D Sphere theater, which presents a breathtaking presentation about humpback whales. Daily naturalist talks, behind-the-scenes tours, and Hawaiian cultural walks deepen the visitor experience, while active conservation efforts include coral propagation, beach cleanups, and reef restoration rooted in traditional Hawaiian stewardship values. Stroller-accessible pathways, on-site dining, and engaging children's programming make it a top family destination, and memberships provide reciprocal access to more than 60 aquariums and science centers across the United States.
