‘Wildest Show’ brings
comedy to Honolulu Zoo

The annual twilight series begins tomorrow, running every Wednesday through Aug. 27.
Other summer delights and plate lunches will be available for purchase. Hands-on activities for the family will include Zoo Trivia, a keiki coloring contest and half-hour guided zoo tours.
