Honolulu Zoo

Very nice experience for kids with a playground and area to pet goats. A bit heavy on birds. Animals are impressive but many are a little tough to see due to dense mesh nets completely around many enclosures to keep some bird in and others out.

The Honolulu Zoo is a fantastic place to visit! It’s well-maintained, family-friendly, and has a great variety of animals to see. The lush, tropical setting makes it a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Perfect for kids and adults alike. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed walking around this zoo! Lots of different animals to see and plenty of shaded walkways made it pleasant to visit even during the middle of the day. Recommend coming on a mid week day as there was hardly any crowds. Loved seeing the monkeys and giraffes. The animals are healthy looking. No need to buy tickets in advance. Definitely recommend coming here.

Love the park feel of this zoo. Definitely would buy a family membership if I stay more than a week. Lots of different animals. Spent time watching the bees play in the flowers.

The zoo was very clean and much larger than expected! Great exhibits/variety of animals. We were there easily 3 hours and didn’t eat or have kiddos with us. Would recommend!

Our hotel (The Twin Fin) was walking distance from the Honolulu Zoo. The zoo is an enjoyable escape from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki Beach and offers some wonderful opportunities to see a wide variety of fauna and of critters both small and large. There are both caged animals as well as recreated natural landscapes where the animals are roaming in their familiar habitats. Worth a trip and you will definitely meet your step count goals. We saw a few birds (peacock and roosters) in the open running around the property. Allocate a couple of hours for this activity. Mahalo

I didn't go to the zoo. I'm sure it's great. We did utilize the zoo's parking and it was a lifesaver because the hotel we stayed at didn't include parking with their $350 a night room (insert sad face) Parking at the zoo is $1.50 USD an hour. You pay through the kiosk and then can extend your paid parking time via text message which is great. The location is in the prime Waikiki area. Near sunset pier.
