Wonderful people doing wonderful work to rehab injured native birds of Hawai'i, as well as conducting important research to help guide wildlife management decisions in the future. Very informative displays and a nice gift shop. Please support them.

The outside courtyard has some nice displays, but you'll be done in 20 min and wont get to see any live animals / patients. A simple walking path around the outside would kick it up a notch.
