What it's about
The Hawaii Children’s Discovery Center offers an exciting and interactive experience for children, featuring a variety of themed exhibits designed to spark curiosity and learning. Kids can explore Rainforest Adventures, where they learn about the importance of rainforests, and Your Town, where they can role-play as community helpers like firefighters or doctors. The Fantastic You exhibit helps children discover how their bodies work, while Hawaiian Rainbows introduces them to Hawaii’s unique culture. Additionally, Your Rainbow World allows kids to explore global cultures and celebrations.
Admission is $12 for general entry, $10 for Kama‘aina & Military (with ID), and $7 for senior citizens (62+ with ID). Children under 1 and HCDC members can enjoy free entry. The center is open Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. It is closed on Mondays and certain holidays, such as Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
