After much anticipation, the Hawaiʻi Wildlife Center Retail Store is open for business and celebrating the milestone with a Grand Opening Week event from March 18-22 9a.m. to 3p.m. daily. During the Grand Opening Week, the HWC Retail store will be offering specials including 50% off Patrick Ching’s Hawai’i National Wildlife Stamp poster and a free gift with purchases over $100.

All items in the store represent the HWC’s conservation mission and celebrate Hawaiʻi’s native birds and bats. Many of the items are works by local artists.
