Stretched over 42 acres, the Honolulu Zoo is found in between the Diamond Head and the Waikiki. The zoo features around 905 different species of animals from the tropical regions of the world. These animals also include different types of African animals and even animals found on the farms. The zoo is quite spacious with broad pathways winding through, which means it is quite easy to navigate down the paths with a tram. It is easy for you to take some snaps with the wildlife in the zoo which makes it one of the best places to travel with children. If you are planning to base yourself in Waikiki, the Honolulu Zoo is just a few minutes away. You can simply walk or catch a taxi there.
