Zoo Mission Statement

The mission of the Honolulu Zoo is to foster an appreciation of our living world, with an emphasis on tropical ecosystems, by serving as a center for environmental education, biological study, and recreation and conservation activities.

Society Purpose

The Honolulu Zoo Society is a non-profit (501(c)3) organization whose purpose is to support the Honolulu Zoo and its mission, to educate the public about the importance of wildlife and conservation issues and to provide for the needed capital improvements to the Zoo through fundraising efforts.

Kruger, our 6000 pound white rhino is a favorite with kids.

Who Are We?

Founded in 1969 as the Zoo Hui, the Honolulu Zoo Society of today is governed by an 18 member volunteer Board of Directors and employs a permanent staff of 8.  Membership consists of over 6,000 people representing families and individuals from across the State of Hawaii and the continental U.S. 

Annual membership dues in the Zoo Society support the Society’s many education and zoo support programs and functions.  We consider it an honor to serve the mission of the Honolulu Zoo and are deeply appreciative of our community’s support.
