Waikīkī
Honolulu Zoo
A small, shady zoo right next to Waikiki.
Why go
An easy morning with young kids when everyone needs a break from sand.
The catch
Small compared to a mainland city zoo - best for under-10s. $21 for adults and $13 for children 3 to 12; under 2 free. A Hawaii ID or military ID cuts that to $10 and $6.

Getting there
Driving times on real roads, from the same data the trip planner routes on — not straight-line distance.
| From Waikīkī | 3 min | 0.7 miles |
|---|---|---|
| From HNL airport | 39 min | 17.1 miles |
| From Ala Moana | 8 min | 2.3 miles |
| From Downtown Honolulu | 12 min | 3.9 miles |
Add traffic. These are free-flowing times, and the H1 through town at eight in the morning is not free-flowing.
