Directions

Foster Botanical Garden is Honolulu's oldest botanical garden, a shady downtown oasis of towering century-old trees, rare tropical plants, and a fragrant orchid collection. It is a peaceful, uncrowded escape a short walk from Chinatown. It is compact and low-key rather than a headline attraction, and midday can be hot, so pair it with a Chinatown visit.
