The Hawai’i Pacific Parks Association (HPPA) will temporarily relocate its sales operations from the Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park Visitor Center after its temporary closure on February 17, 2025.

The store, and park visitor services, will relocate 1.2 miles west to a welcome center at Kilauea Military Camp’s Koa Room, adjacent to the lobby.

Store and NPS (National Park Service) visitor services doors at KMC will open a few days after the visitor center closes. HPPA staff will work alongside NPS rangers to meet visitor needs for the estimated two years of construction.

The move is necessary to accommodate upcoming national park facility upgrades and renovations at the visitor center. It will allow HPPA to continue offering retail sales services to park visitors without interruption until the new park visitor center is ready. Proceeds directly contribute to preservation, education, and interpretation initiatives in the park.
