Museum Hours
The Lānaʻi Culture & Heritage Center (Lānaʻi CHC) is open for regular hours on Monday-Friday from 11am-3 pm. Entry to the museum during these hours is free of charge, though a $5 suggested donation per person is recommended so we can continue to preserve and steward our heritage.
Holidays are observed and occasionally, unexpected closures occur. Lānaʻi CHC will post notices on its front door during these closures. Hours are also subject to change. The most up-to-date information will be posted on the Lānaʻi CHC website.
Private Openings
Lānaʻi CHC occasionally offers opportunities for private visits to the museum on weekdays. Two weeks advance notice is preferred to request a private visit. While Lānaʻi CHC will do its best to accommodate requests, there are no guarantees that all requests can be accepted due to limited staff capacity. If you are interested in visiting the museum, we encourage you to visit during our regular hours. To inquire about a private visit, please contact us via our online form or email kerri@lanaichc.org.

Free for Lānaʻi student groups
$5 per person for off-island, in-state student/youth groups and Lānaʻi residents
$10 per person for off-island, in-state non-profit groups
$20 per person for visitor/out-of-state groups
Entry fees are subject to change. Please visit the Lānaʻi CHC website for the most up-to-date information.
