For botanophiles interested in native Hawaiian plants, this garden on the grounds of a former zoo has a wealth of knowledge. An excellent new audiotour ($5 on Saturday, free with admission Monday to Friday) brings it to life. Don鈥檛 expect the exotic tropicals that dominate most Hawaiian gardens; do expect dedicated staff. Staff also lead personal guided tours by appointment.
