Went to the Honolulu Zoo on my last day in Hawaii. The zoo was right across the street from my hotel. There was a big line up in the morning, so you might want to go a bit later. When I left around 1 p.m. there were no line ups. Not a bad zoo, but there are a lot of... more

We recently returned from a trip to Honolulu. We had low expectations for the Zoo because we had such a poor experience at Sea Life Park. Anyway, to our pleasent surprise, we found the Honolulu Zoo was exceptionally good value and a nice way to spend a few hours in Honolulu. For our family of 4 (boys aged 12 and... more

My husband and two sons (7 and 9) just returned home from an 8 day vacation to Oahu. We visited the Honolulu Zoo during the mid-week and were happily surprised to say the least!!! Parking is only 25cents/hour (up to 4 hours) and bringing in a picnic lunch is allowed (a great money saver). The grounds are absolutely beautiful and... more

If you have ever been to a real zoo in say Chicago, Atlanta, or San Diego do not waste your time at this zoo...unless you have kids that might find it enjoyable.

If you live in a city with a small or older zoo you will absolutely love this zoo, the African Savanna is incredible. If you live in a city with a great zoo, or have visited a great, big city zoo, you may not be as impressed. We loved it! more

We stayed across the street from the zoo at the Queen Kapiolani hotel and had a few hours before checkout and our flight. Zoo is nice and clean, has the typical animals but not lots of them. Nice botanical gardens around the exhibits. more

The zoo was small, probably about the size of the Central Park Zoo in NYC but was a nice stop for a time filler. Took about 1-2 hours to go through the zoo. Interesting animals that we hadn't seen before. Obvisouly the zoo is older and in need of a makeover but it was fun anyways. more

First, let me preface this by telling you that I've been to Honolulu more than 15 times. If this is your first or second visit to Honolulu, you shouldn't even be THINKING about going to the zoo! You should be doing Pearl Harbor or Hanauma Bay or the North Shore. But in all of my trips here, I've visited the... more
