Amazing ruby glow above the crater. Park open and free entry after dark. Visitor Ctr and museum are closed. Dress warmly. Bring flashlight. More

The Thomas A. Jagger Museum in the Volcanoes National Park on the Island of Hawaii is the best location for getting a ring-side view of the active Kilauea Volcano. Besides, the Museum provides an excellent oppurtunity to learn about volcanoes through an array of exhibits and a bank of seismographs. More

The museum is right next to the crater center. The gift shop is nice, exhbit is informational, and the park rangers are very helpful and interesting to speak with. More

Even if you just come here to take dome photos you will be amazed at the size of the crater. The museum has some great displays and will teach you about how the caldera formed. Glad we came to visit. More

Small, informative museum, which adjoins the Haleumaumau crater. An excellent spot from which to view the volcano glow after dark. More

Good spot to view the steaming crater. Good photo ops too and of course can get a little to crowded especially when those tour buses come around. The museum was very informative. I don't think there is no other place to learn more about volcanoes along side an actual active volcano. More

Really enjoyed the museum. Seeing Pele's Hair and Tears was the highlight. Lots of pictures and demonstrations. We learned a lot. Stayed until dark to see the glow of the lava in the volcano. This was amazing More

Love to visit the museum. Displays are good for children and adults. It is not large but you can easily spend an hour in there. Excellent place to purchase books, DVDs on the on-going eruption. Outside you can peer down into the volcano. You never know what you will see. Don't forget to go to Thurston Lava tube as well... More

This museum was very informative and well located right near the Kilauea caldera. Reading about the goddess Pele and how she has influenced artists and other human behaviour was particularly good. The kids (7 and 3) really enjoyed it too. More
