Here’s the best part: children five years old and under receive complimentary admission when accompanied by an adult or teacher! Families just need to arrive between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM to enjoy this amazing opportunity.

A Magical Morning at the Aquarium

Imagine your little ones standing in awe as they come face to face with colorful reef fish, graceful stingrays, and majestic sharks. The Maui Ocean Center brings Hawaii’s underwater world to life in the most exciting and interactive ways. This year’s event is extra special as it coincides with World Octopus Day—a perfect chance to celebrate one of the ocean’s most fascinating creatures. 🐙 From the playful octopus exhibits to the shimmering marine life displays, your keiki will be wide-eyed with wonder.

A Celebration of Keiki and Families

Early Childhood Day isn’t just about exploring the aquarium—it’s a joyful community event recognizing the importance of early learning and the role families, teachers, and caregivers play in shaping young lives. It’s a morning filled with laughter, learning, and connection. Preschools, early childhood programs, and families from across Maui will come together to celebrate our youngest learners in a truly unique setting.

Helpful Family Resources

In addition to the ocean adventures, families can take advantage of early childhood screenings, family resources, connect with Imua Family Services’ Healthcare Navigator team, and many more. These services are here to support your child’s growth and development while giving parents peace of mind. It’s a wonderful blend of fun and practical support—all in one beautiful setting.
