Kilauea Visitor Center 1. Kilauea Visitor Center A stop at the Kilauea Visitor Center is a good way to start a visit to the park.
Interpretive rangers provide information at the front desk.
In addition to exhibits about the park and a sales outlet for the Hawaii Natural History Association , the center contains an auditorium for programs. A 30-minute film is shown on the hour from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. A schedule for ranger guided walks is usually posted by 10 a.m. On many Tuesday evenings a special program, After Dark in the Park , features experts on the park's geology, biology, and cultural history.
