Twilight Tours at Honolulu Zoo - Oahu, Hawaii

Ever wonder what the Zoo is like once the visitors leave and the gates close? Join us Friday and Saturday evenings to find out!  Just as everyone else leaves the Zoo, you will be guided by educators on a two hour walking tour to learn about and visit with some of the Zoo’s most intriguing animals. Watch some of our animals prepare to sleep, while others are just waking up. Learn about the animals’ biology and behavior, and the role that the Zoo plays in conservation of our endangered species. The tours will conclude in our classroom with biofacts displays and light refreshments. We recommend that you wear comfortable shoes and apply mosquito repellant for your adventure! Our Twilight Tours do not include a tour of the Ectotherm Complex at this time.

Every Friday and Saturday

Twilight Tours are held October – March from 4:30pm – 6:30 pm, April – September from 5:30pm – 7:30pm.

Twilight Tours occur rain or shine. Once a tour has started there will be no refunds. In the event of significant inclement weather or flooding in the Zoo, we may need to cancel a tour in which case guests will be notified via email at least two hours before the tour’s scheduled start time.
