Panaʻewa Rainforest Zoo
Panaʻewa
Panaʻewa Rainforest Zoo and Gardens is a Hawaiʻi County zoo on Stainback Highway off Hwy 11, ~5 miles south of downtown Hilo…
The full story and narration are in Mochi Premium.
How to visit
Bring rain gear; the zoo is in actual rainforest and afternoon showers are routine. Bring mosquito repellent. Free admission, but the Friends of the Pana'ewa Rainforest Zoo nonprofit takes donations that support upkeep — drop something in the box if you enjoy your visit. Stay on marked paths; the rainforest understory is fragile. Do not feed the animals. Family-friendly; particularly good for children, though the rainforest setting requires reasonable footwear.
