Opened on March 19, 1904, it is the second-oldest public aquarium in the United States. Then known as the Honolulu Aquarium, it was established as a commercial venture by the Honolulu Rapid Transit and Land Company, who wished to “show the world the riches of Hawaii’s reefs.”

The Aquarium was designated a Coastal Ecosystem Learning Center of the Coastal America Partnership federal program and is a part of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
