Hawai‘i Pacific Parks Association has opened a national park store in historic Hilo Town

Thanks to the generous support of NOAA and the staff at the Mokupāpapa Discovery Center, Hawai‘i Pacific Parks Association (HPPA) has opened a national park store in historic Hilo Town, on Hawaiʻi Island.

We are located on the second floor of Mokupāpapa Discovery Center, on the corner of Kamehameha and Waianuenue avenues, alongside rangers from Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. NPS rangers and HPPA staff offer the public an opportunity to connect to the park during the current partial park closure.

There is something for everyone here: collectibles and park apparel, environmentally supportive and locally crafted items, custom Hawaiʻi wildlife plush, and even a keiki corner.

Entry is free, and every purchase in HPPA’s national park store is tax-free and supports our national parks in Hawai‘i. Come support your parks today! #ShopYourPark
