Review & FAQ:

The Honolulu Zoo is another relic of a bygone era, as the only zoo in the US that began by the decree and donation of lands by a royal ruler. It was begun in 1876, and in the centuries since, the 300-acre plot of land has grown into a thriving and world-class zoo. The Honolulu Zoo features animals from all over the world, including endangered species like the black rhino, Asian elephant, and cheetah, as well as many animal species that are native to the Hawaiian Islands, like the Hawaiian hawk, the black crowned night heron, and the pueo Hawaiian owl. The zoo offers a number of programs for groups, field trips, summer camp, and more.
