How to visit

ʻImiloa is a working museum on a working university campus — be quiet in the planetarium and respectful in the exhibits. Photography is generally allowed but ask staff before photographing in the planetarium. The voyaging exhibits include sacred and culturally significant material from the Polynesian Voyaging Society — treat them with the same care you would treat any sacred object. The outdoor garden is planted with native species in traditional ahupuaʻa zones; stay on the paths.
