My favorite part of visiting this zoo was being able to feed the animals. I bought several bags of peanuts and walked around feeding as many animals as I could. This zoo is a nice relaxing break from walking around downtown looking at endless jewlery and t-shirt shops. Only a jaded person would say "it is a complete waste of... more

My husband & I visited the zoo during our trip in 2007. And looking at the reviews, these folks are exaggerating. This is a total waste of money and time.

This certainly is not a large world class zoo like San Diego, New York or Dublin but it is a nice clean well run zoo with animals that appear well taken care of and well fed. The cut up fruit plates provided to the Macaws looked good enough for humans to eat. The focus is on Caribean animals and adds... more
