Kimo J.D. Stowell (RA)May 12, 2015Great place to learn about our ocean environment and the diversity of Hawai'i's aquatic life. Hawaii's reefs are teeming with creatures large and small. The Coral and Giant Clam farm are a must see!
Trevor BodiJune 26, 2016This place is an awesome value! Only $12 for admission, it's small but very informative and great for killing time. Reccomend walking because parking is very limited. Friendly staff. :)
FamilyFunApril 18, 2012Learn about the ocean and the marine life around the Hawaiian Islands at this great little aquarium. You may also like the Hanauma Bay Marine Education Center and Sea Life Park http://bit.ly/4ARGdf
Kevin TakNovember 18, 2016Aquarium is not so big but there are lots of coral, subtropics fishes, jellyfishes etc. They are beatiful and impressive. Very good place for families and kids have fun time here.- Nate FolkertFebruary 23, 2020nice little collection of marine specimens. if you arrive at opening on a weekday, there will be a bunch of preschool field trips.
Billy SeolDecember 17, 2015Say Aloha to the monk seals! Only in Hawaii and soooo adorable. The volunteers are very kind and caring, I love this place.
MitchJanuary 22, 2017Small but amazing aquarium in Honolulu. Check out the Luau held in its back yard on certain nights of the week.
AlfaJuly 19, 2017I felt like the tanks are too small, but they're doing great work for animal conservation.
Kelly 🍰December 25, 2012The old seal is so cute and quirky! Watch him spin. Don't forget your student ID, and admission is only $6. Budget about 1-1.5 hours for the whole aquarium
Rose LawrenceFebruary 1, 2012Make sure you look cute! A staffer will take a pic of you and your party in front of a green screen when you first enter. You'll be able to purchase the pic on your way out :)
Torzin SOctober 16, 2019Hard to believe that this place is located in Waikiki area, quite peaceful than outside surroundings

- Mariko KisadaJanuary 5, 2014This is right next to one of my favorite attractions on Oahu, the Natatorium.
KristinLipmanJune 21, 2012We stopped here before going to the beach right next door. The kids had a blast! And I had fun with instagram!!
Savannah SmithDecember 22, 2014Still the same as I remembered from 7 years ago 😒 it's under construction but either way I feel there is much more that could be done to jazz the place up
UH ManoaAugust 3, 2011The Aquarium is a part of the UH School of Ocean & Earth Science & Technology, and is world famous for its deep-sea nautilus collection.
Cool place to check and relativley inexpensive. They are currently remodeling one of their galleries. Opens at 9 am. The best time to go is weekday afternoons.
Sophia SwangaroonApril 22, 2014Real tiny place but educational if you listen to all the numbers on the portable audio
Michael ChingSeptember 24, 2012For Persons with a Disability they offer a special $4 admission rate.
Matthew ReichardtJune 12, 2015For what it is it is ok. This is the smallest aquarium I have ever been to. We were in and out in about 25min.
Susie WeeDecember 23, 2009Snorkel in the water by the aquarium on a sunny day when the water is calm. It is phenomenal!
Go to the tank reef machine to see the new rare peppermint angel!- Can't find parking? Try parking at the Natatorium!
joscelyne cutchensJune 30, 2010there are a few free parking spaces in front for 1 hr while in aquarium.
- Paul BrownJanuary 20, 2014SMALL! Definitely not worth the entry price. The seals are fun, however. Less than an hour.
Nathan KamFebruary 2, 2011One of the best family attractions and experiences in Waikiki. Affordable, fun, and engaging. Perfect for kids young and old who want to learn more about Hawaii's unique marine life.
