The Belize Zoo is the zoo that you always imagined, bust somehow just never managed to stumble across. This wonderful habitat was founded in 1983 as a place to house a group of animals used in documentary film making.
Today it houses over 150 animals over almost 30 acres, and the coolest part is that they are all native to Belize! And in staying with its origins, it keeps animals that have been abandoned, orphaned, injured and unable to be returned to the wild, or sent to the Belize Zoo.
This is not your average concrete and faux swimming pool establishment. Expect to see animals in their natural surroundings, often just feet away.
Make this a definite stop on your Belize to-do list, and fall in love with jaguars, monkeys, and macaws... oh my!
