Encounter sharks, stingrays, and turtles in the 750,000-gallon (2.8 million-liter) open ocean exhibit, and dive into a virtual whale experience in the state-of-the-art Humpbacks of Hawaii exhibit and sphere.

A cat café is a warm and inviting space where you can come to play, relax and rejuvenate, and maybe fall in love with the next cat in your life. We love helping animals and making people smile. So, we created a beautiful, first-of-its kind space to house homeless cats and get them adopted, as well as bring awareness and education about cats on the Island. Cat Cafe Maui has a comfy and fun layout at the central Queen Ka’ahumanu Center for humans and our rescue cats to come together to play and learn about each other. All the cats at the Cat Café Maui are available for adoption through a partnership with Maui Humane Society. Our store offers human treats and kitty-themed merchandise for sale.
