One-of-a-kind nights, seasonal celebrations and pop-up programs you won't find anywhere else.
Waikīkī Scarium
Our family-friendly Halloween celebration. Trick-or-treating through the exhibits, costume contests, spooky-marine science demos, food trucks and live entertainment.
Costumes encouraged. Tickets sell out, members get early access.
Beach Clean-Ups
Roll up your sleeves with our staff and conservation partners. We host clean-ups on the reef flats fronting the Aquarium and on neighboring Waikīkī beaches throughout the year.
Gloves, bags and data sheets provided. All ages welcome.
Paint For Your Soul
An evening of guided painting on the Aquarium grounds, surrounded by reef sounds and ocean breeze. All materials provided, no experience required.
Plant Tours
Did you know the Aquarium grounds hold one of Waikīkī's largest collections of native and Polynesian-introduced plants? Our docent-led tours connect plants, people and the sea.
Aquarium After Dark
An adults-only evening at the Aquarium with cocktails, live music, food trucks, and exhibits lit for nighttime. Watch nocturnal species become the stars of the show.
Diving Santa
Santa trades his sleigh for a SCUBA tank! Join us in December as Diving Santa hand-feeds the fish in our Hawaiian reef exhibit. Free with admission. Bring the keiki and a camera.
