About Honolulu Zoo

The Honolulu Zoo is a 42-acre zoo in Queen Kapiʻolani Park in Waikīkī, Honolulu, built on part of the 300-acre royal park. It is the only zoo in the United States established through grants made by a sovereign monarch: in 1876 King Kalākaua made royal lands near the slopes of Lēʻahi available for a public park, opened in 1877 in honour of Queen Kapiʻolani, where he kept exotic birds and horses. The zoo grew from animals collected there from 1915 by parks administrator Ben Hollinger. It now keeps over 1,230 animals in specially designed habitats, receives over 750,000 visitors a year, and is run by the City and County of Honolulu with support from the Honolulu Zoo Society.
