Maui Ocean Center Map and Brochure (2020 – 2023)
Location: Maui, Hawaii
Years Active: 1998 – Active
Forget those boring aquariums with the same old fish! The Maui Ocean Center is all about Hawaii’s underwater oddities. Think fish with goofy faces, turtles with serious munchies, and sharks that would totally win a staring contest. Their Open Ocean exhibit is next level – you literally walk through a giant tank with sharks and rays swirling around you. It’s like being in a slightly terrifying, but mostly awesome, nature documentary.
The Center isn’t afraid to spill a little tea. They’ll dish about ocean pollution and how humans sometimes mess things up for the critters. Hey, it’s good to know the real deal, right?
