The Maui Ocean Center Aquarium in Wailuku is definitely on many top things to do in Maui lists. It’s a great for families and a nice stop on a day trip to or from Lahiaina or the north Maui resorts. This aquarium on Maui shouldn’t be missed especially the glass tunnel (pictured below).

The Ocean Center at Maalea in Wailuku boasts outdoor and indoor areas.  You can see sea turtles, stingrays, sharks and many other native sea life at the aquarium.  There are plenty of interactive elements for kids and even areas where they can touch and feel some of the sea creatures.  It’s not the largest aquarium, so you’ll be able to get in and out quickly or take it slow and spend the day there.  The gift shop is great for souvenirs and the restaurant has a decent view.  Check out the website for more details and photos.

Where is the Maui Ocean Center located? The location is fairly convenient as it’s on the way to/from Lahaina and all the resorts in West Maui; as well as being near Kihei and the Kahului airport (OGG).  Another convenient thing about the location is that it’s a Maui bus stop.  So, you can get there for cheap on public transportation.  The location details are below:

Is the Maui Ocean Center Kama’aina Discount Worth It?

If you are a Hawaii resident, you should definitely take advantage of this great Maui Kama’aina discount.  It’s a 35% discount off the retail admission price, so I’d say it’s a very good deal when it comes to Kamaaina rates on the islands.  The packages offer discounts on the food at the restaurant on premises as well. A lot of food places will offer 20% discounts with restrictions, so this is a pretty generous discount.

There are many things to do in Maui, but not all are family friendly. This Maui destination is definitely great for all ages. Whether you’re a local resident of Hawaii or a tourist visiting Maui, the Maui Ocean Center is a great place for families, couples and anyone else interested in marine life indigenous to the Hawaiian islands.
