The Honolulu Zoo sits on the edge of Waikiki within Kapiolani Park, a compact 42-acre zoo with an African savanna section, tropical birds, and reptiles set among lush grounds. It is an easy, walkable outing for families staying nearby. It is modest compared with mainland big-city zoos and some exhibits feel dated, but the location and price make it a pleasant couple of hours.
