Wailoa Center at a Glance
Hawaii’s vibrant art scene takes center stage at the Wailoa
Center on Hilo, Big Island. Located in the Wailoa State
Park, the center is the premier arts and culture hub of
Hilo, featuring works by local and international artists
of all styles and genres. Art lovers can spend an entire
day admiring the pieces and learning about Hilo culture
straight from the artists themselves.
The center appeals to every demographic with its wide range
of attractions. There are family-friendly galleries for
children, larger art collections for adults, and occasional
performances by popular local artists. Shows and exhibits
are staged throughout the year, so there’s always something
to be seen here. Summer is usually the busiest season and
is the best time to come if you like the art scene.
The museum is part of the Wailoa State Park situated on
the Wailoa River, a popular spot for picnics and day trips.
From the center, you can explore the rest of the park on
foot or join a group tour. Some sights worth seeing are
the lagoon and its footbridges, wandering trails and footpaths,
and a statue of Kamehameha I. Fishing is allowed, but strictly
regulated.
The Wailoa Center is open Mondays to Fridays, but is usually
closed on official holidays. Entrance and parking are available
through the park area. Admission to the center is free,
but some events may require passes or an entrance fee. The
center is open from 8:30am to 4:30pm except on Wednesdays,
when it opens at noon.Wailoa Center in Bullet Points
