This zoo is pretty cool. Caveat here is I haven't been to many zoos. I didn't expect to enjoy this much, but thought I'd just check it out since it's so close to our hotel. We had an awesome time...

I love animals...and for only $8, you can walk through a pretty substantial space and see creatures from all over. It's small, but you're on an island, where most people or creatures would prefer to...

Within walking distance from many Waikiki hotels, the Honolulu Zoo is nice excursion during your stay in Honolulu. It is a small zoo by comparison to many other US cities. They have a light showing...

A luscious green park with your typical zoo animals. The tiger even had newborn cubs; unfortunately they will not be on "display" until after Thanksgiving.
