Honolulu Zoo

The Honolulu Zoo is a City zoo in Kapiʻolani Park, at the corner of Kapahulu Avenue and Kalakaua Avenue, between the slopes of Diamond Head and Waikiki. It focuses on Pacific tropical island ecosystems, with exhibits in tropical zones: the African Savanna, the Asian and American Tropical Forests, and the Pacific Islands. Animals include Komodo dragons, orangutans, elephants, primates, birds, reptiles and amphibians. The zoo entrance stands where Makee Island once was in the park. Tickets are sold at the gate, with no advance sales, and kamaʻāina and U.S. military visitors pay less with ID. The zoo lot is entered from Kapahulu Avenue, and its parking is paid by the hour. Pets, drones, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, balloons, alcohol, smoking and vaping are not allowed, and neither is feeding the animals; service animals are welcome after checking in at the ticket booth. Stay on the pathways and off the railings and fences; stroller and wheelchair rentals are available.
