“Discover Hawaii's undersea world”
Coral World International opened Maui Ocean Center, the largest tropical aquarium in the western hemisphere, in 1998. Since then, Maui Ocean Center has drawn thousands of visitors of all ages from around the globe to discover Hawaii’s undersea world in a captivating and educational setting. Aptly termed “The Hawaiian Aquarium”, this 3-acre marine park faithfully replicates the natural ocean ecosystem, where visitors encounter only animals that occur in Hawaii; many of which are found nowhere else in the world! Featuring the largest collection of live corals in the nation, and over 60 exhibits, including interpretive displays, outdoor touch pools and a 750,000-gallon Open Ocean exhibit with 240-degree view acrylic tunnel, the marine park is designed to help visitors develop an understanding and appreciation of Hawaii’s marine environment.
Known as The Aquarium of Hawai’i, Maui Ocean Center in Maui, Hawaii, is centered around conservation, as well as educating visitors about sea life, some of which only live on or near the islands. They are doing this in part through their island-based conservation program called Ocean Aloha. The program will ensure that both island visitors and residents know why/how to take care of natural resources to protect them for the future.
We think it's one of the best aquariums in the U.S.
