Description

Embark on a captivating adventure at the Belize Zoo, a must-visit attraction showcasing the country's rich wildlife.

Today, it stands as a testament to Belize's natural heritage, providing a safe haven for injured and rescued animals. Your journey begins with a 45-minute drive from Belize City along the western highway. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by a variety of native species, all housed in their natural habitats. Marvel at the elusive jaguars, photogenic spider monkeys, and vibrant keel-billed toucans, Belize's national bird. The zoo also features the formidable harpy eagle, the largest predator bird in the region. For the adventurous, special experiences await, such as sitting in a cage while Junior Buddy the jaguar performs somersaults and even offers a kiss. The zoo also hosts a research center for those interested in learning more about these incredible creatures. After exploring the zoo, you'll return to Belize City, completing a perfect half-day tour for nature and animal lovers. Remember to bring sunscreen, insect repellent, and a camera to capture the unforgettable moments. The Belize Zoo promises a compelling and rewarding experience for the entire family.
