5 reviews for Maui Ocean Center
A complete disappointment. $50 for two people? For what turned out to be a tiny aquarium? I felt like I was ripped off, seriously.
The most exciting thing was when we saw a male whale out in the ocean splashing about, trying to impress the female whale (apparently it doesn't happen that often so close to shore). Although we were in the outdoors section of the aquarium, I can't really give them credit for the whales- we could have watched them elsewhere.
Oh well. Lesson learned.
This is a very cool little aquarium that actually has a decent restarunt...maybe the food is some of the inhabitants scooped up and prepped for lunch! Cool to go to on an overcast day!
This is an overpriced small aquarium. Nothing was really memorable. We only spent about 1-2 hours here. If you're not close by, I wouldn't bother making the trip out there to visit. The only thing good was there wasn't a large crowd so we could wander at out own pace.
I took the kids here while hubby participated in the Kings Trail Triathlon. It was a great way to kill time. It got the kids close to some Hawaiian sea life. We enjoyed a petting pool and took about a half dozen strolls through the same glass tunnel that gives the experience of having sharks, sting rays and other fishy types swim around you. I don't think the over 8 set will find the place exciting but for small children it sure was. Informative and educational, older kids may find a lot here for producing future school reports.
This is a great aquarium. I love coming here every time I come to Maui. And for a non-swimmer like me, I get to see the wonders of the ocean without having to get wet! All of the marine life you will encounter is alive and from Hawaii: the coral, the fishes, the plant-life, everything. The aquarium is very educational and I recommend it for everyone.
