EASTER SHELL-EBRATION & KEIKI SUNDAY
Date: Sunday, March 24, 2024

Hop on over to Sea Life Park on March 24 and get an early start on Easter fun with a dynamic day of learning and exploring! First stop is a beach cleanup directly across from the park, conducted with environmental nonprofit 808 Cleanups and immediately followed by the release of Hawaiian green sea turtles from the park's Honu Conservation Program into the ocean! Then bounce back to the park for an Easter-themed Keiki Day, complete with scavenger hunts throughout the park for eggs-cellent prizes, activities with local vendors, face painting stations, photo ops with the Easter Bunny, mermaid sightings and more!  Plus, on this special Keiki Day, up to two children get free admission to the park for every paid adult admission.

In an extra perk for those that can lend a hand in keeping  coastlines free from marine debris, the first 100 cleanup volunteers to pre-register/sign a waiver at 808 Cleanups can get free park admission for the day. Members of the Sea Life Park team will be beachside to help in the collective cleanup effort and provide qualifying volunteers that wish to experience the fun at the park afterwards with passes for free access.

Event Schedule:

 8 a.m. - 10 a.m. Beach Cleanup across from Sea Life Park  & Honu Release.
Location: Kaupo Beach across Sea Life Park
Where to sign up?: Register and complete an online waiver at 808cleanups.org/calendar

10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Keiki Day with Easter Fun back at Sea Life Park! 
Location: Sea Life Park
*Free Admission to volunteers of the beach cleanup up to the first 100 volunteers
*2 free child General Admission per 1 paying adult

 To date, Sea Life Park's Honu Conservation Program has released more than 18,000 turtle hatchlings into the wild and provided ongoing education about honu and their important role in reef ecosystems. Seeing a recent shift in population status from Endangered to Threatened, the Hawaiian green sea turtle is one of the few sea turtle populations in the world experiencing a resurgence, in part due to the advocacy and dedication of organizations, programs, and volunteers throughout Hawai‘i and beyond. 

Date: Sunday, January 14, 2024

Come celebrate the "Year of the Honu" with an educational event and special Keiki Day.  The festive and informative day marks the first event of a year-long celebration, recognizing the 50th Anniversary of the park's Honu Conservation Program as well as the collective efforts of like-minded organizations that are making a daily difference in Hawaiian green sea turtle conservation awareness.
