After months of staying-at-home (due to the pandemic), NAC rekindled my son’s love of the outdoors and desire to care for the environment.

“Our kids learn a lot in school, but it’s also good for them to come here and spend time with us too. And especially during these COVID times, it’s hard to find activities that are COVID-friendly and family-friendly.”

Brian Li
My kids had so much fun they didn’t want to come home.

John Kawamoto, Nuuanu
A day with Hawai‘i Nature Center is like a spa day on steroids. It’s so reinvigorating.
