Too often overlooked by visitors to Honolulu and Waikiki, the Honolulu Zoo is one of the island of Oahu's hidden treasures.
Located in Kapi'oplani Park between the hotels and resorts of Waikiki and Diamond Head, the Honolulu Zoo is an easy walk from most Waikiki hotels.
The only zoo within 2300 miles, the Honolulu Zoo features many species of animals that you won't see in any mainland zoo, including a family of Komodo Dragons, Sumatran Tigers and several species unique to Hawaii such as the Hawaii State Bird, the Nene.

This zoo is sorely in need of new management that does not spend their money on a new entrance, the zoo shop or tiles in bathrooms for gosh sakes. they never added signs in Japanese despite the fact that every other viable business on the island helps out our “high spending” Japanese visitors. Send in your comments to the AZA and request de-accreditation without a change!
Dismal zoo. Bad website -broken links etc.
