Best Farms & Nature in Maui for Kids & Families

Looking for the best farms & nature in Maui for kids? As the Valley Isle — diverse landscapes from beaches to volcanic crater, Maui offers animal farms, botanical gardens, and nature centers that families won't find anywhere else. Whether you're visiting for the first time or looking for something new, we've rated every option for age-appropriateness, stroller access, and value so you can skip the guesswork.

Farms and nature centers offer something screens can't — direct contact with animals and growing things. We flag petting zoo cleanliness, whether there are handwashing stations, and seasonal availability (many farms are seasonal operations). In Maui, expect warm year-round (75-85F), drier on the south/west side — winter has bigger surf. Pro tip: Road to Hana is incredible but long (12 hours round trip). With young kids, do half and turn around.

Below you'll find our curated list of farms & nature in Maui, HI — each with detailed age ratings (infants through teens), cost estimates for a family of four, and the practical parent details that matter: parking, stroller access, nursing rooms, and honest reviews of what makes each spot worth your time.
