Join us today at 12:20 to observe Lāhainā Noon! Also known as a “zero-shadow day,” Lāhainā Noon is a unique tropical phenomenon where the Sun passes directly overhead at solar noon, causing objects to cast almost no shadow! 🌞

Families are invited to explore this amazing science event with simple hands-on observation activities in our courtyard. It’s a fun way for keiki to learn about the Sun, shadows, and the wonders of our island skies through discovery and play. This even only happens twice a year!

Hear the Stories. Feel the Magic. Be Inspired.

Meet LEILANI! At 7 years old, Leilani knows exactly what she loves...our TV Station/News Center, the Grocery Store, and most of all, the friendships she makes along the way. In today’s video, she shares how the Discovery Center is a place where she can play, connect, and and make new friends. It’s those everyday moments that make the magic real!!
