The Honolulu Zoo is the principal zoological institution of research of Hawai'i in the City & County of Honolulu. It is the only zoo in the United States to be established by grants made by a sovereign monarch. Built on part of a 300 acre (1.2 km²) royal park in Waikiki known as Queen Kapi'olani Park, the Honolulu Zoo now features over 1,230 animals in specially designed habitats.

Over 750,000 people visit the zoo annually. The institution is administered by the Honolulu Zoo Society, a non-profit organization, and is maintained by a corps of volunteers. The zoo is owned by the City & County of Honolulu through the Auditoriums Department.

  • Very affordable family-oriented spot. Three playful baby tigers in the Sumatra Tiger exhibit right next to the petting zoo. Highly recommended!
