The Maui Ocean Center is offering discounted admission every weekend to all Hawaii residents in response to the community’s need for recovery and self-care, the organization announced Thursday.
Each Saturday and Sunday, kamaaina admission is $10 for keiki (child) and $15 for makua (adult) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with last entry at 4 p.m. A valid Hawaii state ID is required, with the exception of affected Lahaina and Upcountry residents. For tickets, visit mauioceancenter.com/reservations and choose the “Kamaaina Weekends” option.
“In the aftermath of this month’s wildfires, we have all witnessed the power of community,” said Tapani Vuori, general manager at the Maui Ocean Center. “We want to make sure local residents, especially our families and keiki, have the opportunity to experience the awe, wonder and beauty you’re surrounded by here at Maui Ocean Center. Residents and those affected need space to heal and recover as we navigate the road ahead.”
The aquarium is also selling fundraiser stickers and T-shirts, with portions of the sales to benefit the Hawai’i Community Foundation’s Maui Strong Fund.
