The Hawaiian Aquarium

The Hawaiian Aquarium...Maui's Ocean Center


Ben and Heather



(L to R) Sue, Big Ben, Tanner & Steve


We went to the aquarium with my sister Sue and her family. Big Ben and Tanner are 8 years old. It was such a blast to go with them. They were so excited to see all of the marine life and to share their knowledge.

There were so many amazing display of fish, marine mammals, sharks, turtles, rays, and a living reef. As we walked through the different displays you could see fish that looked almost electric, some hid very well and others were so big it felt like they could jump through the glass and attack you.

Big Ben and Tanner were especially cute; they would get the camera and take all these pictures and run to the next display. I think they really liked the sharks...












One of my favorite stops was the Tide Pool. This was a pool of water with starfish, sponges, small fish, etc. This was the interactive part of the tour. You could reach in and touch the marine life; hold it; move it around; watch it squirm from your fingers. It was awesome!
