Museum

Nurturing the bond between people and place is the deepest intent of Hui o Laka’s park stewardship program, Kokua Koke’e!. For all who have experienced the calm and exhilaration of these mountain parks, it is clear how important these mountains are in our lives. First time visitors and long-time residents alike are refreshed and renewed by a visit to Koke’e.

Visiting the Museum

No matter what the weather, Koke’e Natural History Museum is open every day of the year from 10 am to 4 pm to greet and assist park visitors. That includes all holidays.
