Honolulu Zoo Map and Brochure (2024 – 2020)
Location: Honolulu, Hawaii
Years Active: 1914 – Active
The Honolulu Zoo isn’t just another animal park. It’s a hotbed of conservation tucked into the heart of Oahu. Founded way back in 1914, they’ve been fighting for wildlife longer than most of us have been alive.
You won’t see polar bears here. The zoo focuses on the unique animals of the Pacific Islands – weird birds, colorful reptiles, you name it. Want to see a real Hawaiian Nene goose? This is the place. They even have a slice of African savanna, complete with lions and giraffes.
Big fan of elephants? Meet Mari and Vaigai. But be warned – animal rights groups have criticized the zoo’s elephant enclosure.
The Honolulu Zoo gets tons of visitors, but it’s not perfect. They’re always working to improve.
Go early! The animals are way more active in the morning before the crowds and heat roll in.
