Zoofari 2026

Hear the laughter of keiki in the trees and see the excitement as they swing, climb, and explore in the heart of Waikīkī. The Honolulu Zoo keiki playground is a favorite stop for families—a place where young visitors connect with nature, build confidence, and create lasting memories long after they leave the Zoo.

The Honolulu Zoo Society warmly invites you to Zoofari 2026: Jungle Gym Jam on Saturday, April 18, 2026, from 5 to 9 p.m. on Zoo grounds. Guests will enjoy dinner by Chef Chai, live entertainment featuring Henry Kapono and Alx Kawakami, unforgettable animal encounters, and exciting live and silent auctions—all set beneath the stars in Waikīkī.

Proceeds from the evening will support much-needed improvements to our 25-year-old keiki playground. Your sponsorship helps fund safer play areas, inclusive structures, and nature-inspired features that keep children moving, learning, and returning again and again.

By sponsoring Jungle Gym Jam, you help create the moments families remember most. Your generosity shows up in every smile, every new skill mastered, and every child who leaves the Zoo inspired to explore more.

Together, we can bring new life to this cherished space—strengthening community, sparking imagination, and ensuring that every visit to the Honolulu Zoo feels a little more magical.
