Hawaii is a gorgeous destination all by itself,
but no vacation would be truly complete without a visit to at
least a few of the local attractions. So if you can only choose
a few, then you will definitely want to make sure that the
Honolulu Zoo is at the top of the list. This exotic paradise
featuring animals from around the globe will help you find and
reconnect with your inner child. The vibrant colors and lush
tropical landscapes of Hawaii are the perfect backdrop for a day
safari trip through the Honolulu Zoo.
The Honolulu Zoo offers a wide range of interactive activities
and programs in addition to numerous animal habitats on display.
In this way, your visit becomes an adventure. Some of these
include ‘Snooze in the Zoo’, the ‘Dinner Safari’, and ‘Breakfast
with a Keeper’. Keep in mind that you will need to check the
calendar at the zoo’s website for availability.
‘Snooze in the Zoo’ allows visitors to get a first hand glimpse
of the creatures in their night time habitats. Watch lions on
the prowl and check out the lemurs as they snooze. The evening
begins with a buffet dinner followed by a walking tour after
dark. Then, you can pitch your tent on the zoo’s lawns and sleep
under the stars with the animals.
The ‘Dinner Safari’ is a real treat. During this 4 hour tour,
you and your family are allowed to explore the wilderness at
twilight, which is followed by dinner. After dinner, you will be
treated to an evening stroll through the zoo, which consists of
a more thorough tour with red-filter flashlights.
If you are more of a morning person, you might enjoy ‘Breakfast
with a Keeper’ - which includes a delicious breakfast buffet and
an in-depth tour of what goes on behind the scenes at the zoo.
This is a real eye opener for those who have always wondered
what it is like to work with the animals on a daily basis.
Whether you choose one of the special tours or just to tour the
Honolulu Zoo on your own, you will be sure to enjoy your visit.
So be sure to include the Honolulu Zoo at the top of your list
of ‘Things to Do’ in Hawaii.
