Naples Zoo

Description:

Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens features animals from apes to zebras within a historic botanical garden founded in 1919. Zoo guests get close to lions, tigers, leopards, alligators, hyenas, kangaroos and many other species throughout the 52-acre setting. The nationally accredited zoo features a variety of wildlife presentations including two shows in the Safari Canyon theater: "Planet Predator" focuses on carnivorous animals while "Serpents: Fangs & Fiction" illustrates the valuable role that reptiles play in keeping the balance of nature. Both shows offer live animals exhibiting natural behavior while narrators show custom graphics and wildlife videos. The zoo also includes the Primate Expedition Cruise, a boat ride around islands where monkeys, lemurs and apes live in natural habitats, along with the Meet the Keeper series, Alligator Bay Feedings and more. Feature exhibits include Tiger Forest where guests see the rarest tigers in America; Panther Glade, a cooperative exhibit with the National Wildlife Federation; and African Oasis with the rare African wild dogs. There is also a SUBWAY restaurant, picnic area, three play areas, and a gift shop on site.

This Zoo is a fun stop for kids and parents alike. You can get up close to the cages that the animals are in, can take a boat ride to "Monkey Island", make a picnic and eat at any one of the grassy areas or benches and really take in the scenery.
