The zoo on the Big Island is about 9 kilometers away from hilo. The zoo does not need tickets, it is better to put a little change in the donor box if you want. There are many small tropical animals: lizards, frogs, ferns, and tigers, monkeys, sheep, etc. There is also a slide in a small children's play area. The ecology is very natural, and the hardware facilities are in place and there is no danger. In short, a good place for parents and children.
