Honolulu Zoo

Nestled in between Diamond Head and Waikiki, the Honolulu Zoo attracts more than 700,000 visitors each year. Established in 1817, it is the only zoo in the USA that received a royalty grant from King David Kalakaua, who then allowed some 300 acres of land to be developed as part of Kapiolani Park. Today, Honolulu Zoo is home to more than a thousand animals, with major emphasis on the Pacific eco-system.

General admission is $13. Open daily between 9:00am- 4:30pm
