There are five state botanical gardens on O'ahu. Ho'omaluhia Botanical garden is the largest boasting 400 lush acres. Tucked up against the beautiful Ko'olau mountains, you'll find mostly trees in this garden, but you'll have lots of room and many activities to keep the family busy. You can feed the ducks and fish, stroll the gardens and park, fish, and even camp here.
