About

Explore

The Hawaii Children’s Discovery Center provides a world-class, interactive, participatory learning environment designed to inspire the young and "young-at-heart" to new heights of learning and discovery.

Discover

The Center provides an environment that encourages children to use their senses of touch, sight, hearing, and smell to gain a better understanding of the world around them.

Imagine

Our goals are to help children develop positive self-concept and an understanding of others in Hawaii’s multicultural community, and to offer them a "window to the world" beyond our island shores.

Dream

We want to inspire children to "dream big dreams" and to know that dreams can, indeed, come true!
