Excellent display. Good explanation of volcano development, webcams showing current activity. rangers very infornative.

Good views of smoking volcano. Museum has great photos and lots of information. Worth a visit.Wish we had been there later to view lave glow.

Go on the evening after twilight, and you can see orange light cast from the lava that is under the crater. As of May 3, 2013, this view is the closest to seeing lava without a four-hour round trip hike, or paying for a helicopter or boat.

IT was a cloudy, rainy day when we went. Still was able to see the volcano cauldron spewing gases, smoke from the lookout at the museum.

Great place to view the smoking volcano - go at night for the fullest effect! Daytime visits will be good for the steam vents and Thurber Lava Tube visit. It is amazing the power of the earth.

Very informative center and if you go at night and the skies are clear at dusk you just might get views of lava shooting from the crater. Try to stay past sundown. If you get cold, go inside and read all about the history!

This is a must do in the Volcano National Park. The centre itself is full of information including working seismographs and tiltmeters. When you head outside you have a birds eye view of the Halema'uma'u Crater.

At night you can see the red glow from the lava lake with the steam! Very cool! During the day it mostly just looks like white steam from the crater.

The museum provides exceptional information about the volcano and excellent vantage point from which to view the erupting volcano. It's a particularly good spot to view the volcano at night when you can see the glow of the caldera.
