NoL Posted March 17, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I haven't seen any posts on the Belize Zoo, has anyone ever been? Thanks in advance! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadTripFanatic Posted March 21, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I went there two years ago. It's set in the rainforest. I'm a huge zoo fan and I really liked this one. It's unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruckner Posted March 30, 2009 #3 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I'm going to agree. My DW and I went on the way from the airport to our resort earlier this year and loved it. Lots of unique animals and signs. The variety of brids is amazing. The toucans, parrots, vultures, owls, eagles and storks were impressive. Also, cool jaguars, pumas and monkeys. Finally, the Tapirs were cute. Shouldn't be a long drive from the cruise port - maybe 45 minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncdebe Posted March 30, 2009 #4 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Is it possible to take a taxi or shuttle from the port? How much should it cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingingPixie Posted March 31, 2009 #5 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I loved it- did it just over a year ago on a combination tour with Altun Ha. Originally it was just a time-filler since Altun Ha is a half-day tour, but I liked it at least as much as the ruins! Our guide was there so often that he knew all the zoo staff, which made for some personal attention. The best part was that there was a baby jaguar at the time, and the zoo staff let us pet it through the fence, as long as he was holding its head. VERY cool experience. Admittedly, I'm an animal person, but I'd go back here again in a heartbeat... although I won't be heartbroken if it's not on the next trip to Belize.

Gooble22 Posted April 3, 2009 #6 Share Posted April 3, 2009 We took a taxi from the port - for 4 of us we paid $80 - that included a stop for lunch and a city tour. I suspect we overpaid. Enterance fees were $10 each. The zoo is very unique - we had a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
