Maui Ocean Center, Public aquarium in Maalaea, Hawaii, US.
The Maui Ocean Center displays over 2000 marine animals in 750,000 gallons of water, including sharks, turtles, coral reefs, and tropical fish.
Established in 1998, the center became the largest tropical reef aquarium in the Western Hemisphere, featuring exclusively Pacific marine life from Hawaiian waters.
The center incorporates Hawaiian maritime traditions and indigenous knowledge through educational programs about traditional fishing methods and ocean navigation techniques.
The aquarium opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with adult admission at $44.95 and special rates for children, seniors, and military personnel.
A 240-degree acrylic tunnel allows visitors to walk through a massive tank where sharks, stingrays, and tropical fish swim overhead and alongside.
