As you and your family walk through an acrylic tunnel, you gape at the manta rays and sharks swimming safely overhead. The Maui Ocean Center, recently voted Hawaii’s top-rated family attraction by Zagat’s, is just one of the many family-friendly treasures you’ll find on Maui.
Take your kids to the Paper Airplane Museum, where 2,000 models dangle from the ceiling and tin can airplanes adorn the walls. Or take a ride on a genuine 1890’s train on the Lahaina-Kaanapali Railroad. If you’re staying in a hotel or resort, they’ll likely have a keiki (children's) program that includes everything from lei making to hula lessons, helping to create a truly unique Maui memory for your little ones.
