Panaewa Rain Forest Zoo

Panaewa Rain Forest Zoo Review

Advertised as "the only natural tropical rain forest zoo in the United States," this is the home of white Bengal tiger, Namaste. There is a variety of native Hawaiian species, such as the state bird, the nene (Hawaiian goose), as well as a small petting zoo every Saturday 1:30-2:30. Come in the afternoon and watch Namaste's feeding at 3:30 daily.
