Avoid the stress of being stuck in crowds by choosing a small group guided tour. Forget the concrete jungles and iron bars of traditional zoos; The Belize Zoo is considered as a tropical animal rescue, research, and rehabilitation center. Every animal at the Belize Zoo was either orphaned, born at the zoo, rescued or received as a gift from other institutions. You are not going to find imported species here; just the native “stars” of Belize and Central America. The tour includes a licensed guide who provides commentary at each stop, as well as points out Belize city’s most impressive monuments along the way like the Belize sign, Anglican Cathedral, The Belize City swing bridge and more.
