It's small, but that's what makes it manageable. It was a perfect excursion for my 2.5 year old. The grounds are very pretty and it's easy to find shade on hot days (it was sweltering when we were there). Something about the small size makes it less depressing than other zoos. We had a lot of fun there and would... more

I went with my 2 1/2 yr old son while on vacation and we both loved it! There are lots of exciting animals to see and wide paths to walk on. The Keiki (children's) Zoo was a nice treat as well with an aquarium, chickens, and goat petting zoo. There are 2 play structures for the kids to climb on... more

The Honolulu Zoo is a great place to stroll around and enjoy the animals but bring your camera because the plants and flowers are also amazing. Oahu is our least favorite of the Hawaiian islands but it is the one we would suggest if you can only go to one island. It has a little bit of all the islands... more

Although not huge, the Honolulu Zoo is a nice break from the beach. It is perfect for young families as it is not too pricey and small enough to visit in a couple of hours. The have wide range of animals and beautiful grounds. The also have a very nice playground. Take a break from the sun and sand and... more

Aloha. We love the Honolulu Zoo and we live here. Everytime we go we discover something different, since they are always renovating. You can now see the giraffes, zebras and other animals closer than any other zoo we've visited. My son loves the keiki corner (children's interactive zoo) and at the end of our trip we spend a relaxing (for... more

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. I thought the free zoo in Chicago was better than this zoo. The tigers were inside a glass cage, which made them very hard to see and there... more
