Especailly good if you have kids or are a kid at heart like me. My husband and I love water creatures so we had a great time exploring this aquarium. Our favorite exhibits - the open water tank, jellyfish, and hammerhead sharks. Great place to spend a morning or afternoon. more

To embrace Hawaii is to understand their sea life and you won't get a much better look at it than this place. Once your done there are little shops around, a nice way to spend the afternoon and gain respect for the Ocean and appreciate why Hawaii is so great more

We visited the Maui Ocean Center with our three kids. Nice day, lots to see and a "touch pool" for the kids(starfish, sea urchins, sea sponges, etc). You will see beautiful jellyfish, sea turtles, sharks, colorful coral and other exciting marine life. It's not as fantastic as the Monterey Bay Aquarium, but worth the trip. Best of all the Maui... more
