What is Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens?
Naples Zoo is a nationally accredited zoo and yet much more than a walk-through zoo. The nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable institution also features a full day of fun activities. The paved path winds nearly a mile past rare and beautiful animals residing within a historic tropical garden of exotic plants first planted in 1919 with a fascinating history.
In this tropical setting, you can take delight at seeing many of your favorite animals like lions, kangaroos, and monkeys. In addition, you'll also discover feature exhibits and an array of more rarely seen creatures like the African wild dogs or an Asian deer that barks and eats meat.
Don't Miss the Shows!
Beyond the exhibits and gardens, the best of the zoo can be seen by taking
in the full day of fun and entertaining presentations
and activities that have a solid conservation foundation. Safari
Canyon presentations like Planet Predator and Serpents:Fangs & Fiction enable you to understand wildlife in exciting ways through
living animals, wildlife video, and live camera close-ups. The Primate
Expedition Cruise takes you through islands inhabited by monkeys,
lemurs, and apes. You can also enjoy the Meet the Keeper
Series and Alligator Bay
Feeding. Children have fun touching animals at some of the presentations and exploring each of the
three play areas.
You can also relax in a tranquil setting looking over the water to watch
the lemurs, monkeys, and apes on their islands. In the more densely foliated
northern gardens, you can walk beneath the expansive canopy of giant ficus
trees and their sprawling aerial root systems.
Combining
conservation and recreation, Naples Zoo offers
fun for every generation.
You'll also discover a number of ways to
get involved in helping animals. The
zoo is accredited by the prestigious Association of
Zoos and Aquariums and is an institutional member of
the American Association
of Zoo Keepers.
