The largest of Honolulu's
parks is Kapiolani, containing a zoo, an aquarium, and
Waikiki Shell, where the Honolulu Symphony gives concerts.
The Honolulu Botanical Gardens consists of four gardens in
and around the city. Also in Honolulu is the Arizona
Memorial for the 1,100 who died during the bombing of
Pearl Harbor.
Notable institutions are the University of Hawaii; the
Bishop Museum, noted for its studies of Polynesia; the
Honolulu Academy of Arts, known for its Asian and Hawaiian
collections; and Kawaiahao Church (1841), where funerals for
Hawaiian monarchs and nobility were held. Iolani Palace, the
former home of Hawaii's kings, is the only royal palace in
the United States. |
The beach at Waikiki is
especially noted for bathing and surfing. The famous Diamond
Head crater is nearby.
