Hawaiʻi Wildlife Discovery Center

"A great place to bring your kids to interactively learn about ocean ecology. Adults will appreciate the calm beauty of the photos and whimsical nature of beach cleanup art. No set entrance fee, donations welcome."

"Great place for those interested in the environment. Perfect place for parents to bring their children. This center is funded by donations."

"I went here yesterday and absolutely loved it! I loved the 3D room with the bean bag chairs. It had animal views and white noise sounds that were very calming! The information about the history of the whaling industry was also very interesting. I loved the little videos they had in the video room as well as the cinematography was very well done (and that's coming from a cinema major). The plastics area was also very impactful and I loved seeing the art in this area. I also love that they have the venmo option for donation since we don't carry cash with us. As an self proclaimed environmentalist I absolutely loved this exhibit. The only suggestion for improvement I have is adding more to the beginning exhibits about protecting the animals. As some of the beaches have signs with similar information I think it would be even more impactful if they added the bigger why as to why these rules protect the marine animals. For example touching sea turtles opens them up to infection and disease (and then explain why). Also adding something about the importance of mineral sunscreen and explaining what coral are since there are misconceptions around this would be helpful as well. This honestly could be added next to the current exhibits as I do think some people (especially some tourists might not know these rules). I know there is limited space, but if you can figure out a way to add some facts about the animals as well (maybe in the video room?) that would be cool as well. I love what you guys as an organization are doing please keep up the great work!"

"Amazing experience here. Not a huge place but many of the exhibits took some time to explore and interact with. Well worth the time to stop by and check it out."

"This is a fantastic immersive experience. Take an hour to explore the huge space; it's loaded with educational exibits and art. Proceeds support the Hawaii Wildlife Fund."
