Over 600,000 visitors frequent the Honolulu Zoo annually, which is no surprise given its current title as the largest zoo within a 2,300 mile radius. Established by King David Kalakaua in 1874, this zoo exists to educate the public about wildlife as well as conservation principles. Interestingly, it is also the only zoo in the U.S. to originate solely from a King's grant of royal lands to the people.

The layout was very poor. It was not very clear on how to find all the animals. Some of the drink machines did not work or station was not open. It looked in some parts abandon. I took my 5 year old and only paid $8 dollars plus $3 ... more on Yahoo! Travel

My wife and I were looking at killing some time so we thought lets go to the zoo. We are from Northern Alberta Canada so we enjoy trips like this. However our impression of this zoo has left a bad taste in our mouth. The Zoo was dirty ... more on Yahoo! Travel

The elephants need a larger space, their tight quarters is rediculous. I've never seen such a tightly compact space. I felt sorry for them. The birds are in small cages, they need more room and the fa ... more on TripAdvisor

In the middle of Waikiki, tucked away is the Honolulu Zoo. It can be a bit hard to find at first when your driving. It is a small Zoo but worth seeing. The price ... more on Epinions.com
