The Honolulu Zoo was a great outing. In actual exhibits it’s light compared to other zoos we’ve been too, but the grounds a lovely. The trees and fauna are gorgeous. Every part of the experience was enjoyable.

Nice staff, clean grounds, and a decent variety of animals. Elephants, giraffes, and African Penguins were some of our favorites. Some spaces were under renovation. We didn’t realize until we were there that they also have a nighttime at the zoo event on some Saturdays. Take sunscreen, a hat, and a water bottle.

Amazing zoo! Great half off Veteran and Military discount. Get there early because it can be hot and lots to see! The monkeys, tigers, and little foxes were my favorite. Amazing date idea if you have some down time in Oahu or need some laid back to do in walking distance.
