The Maui Ocean Center is reopening Friday after a 10-month closure, bringing back in-person ocean education, family-friendly experiences with marine life and a joyful but COVID-19-safe environment, the ocean center said Tuesday.
The park’s doors closed March 17 due to the pandemic and are now set to reopen in three phases that include the addition of an online reservation system.
