This is one of the few zoos in the world which works solely with rehabilitated or injured animals that call Belize their home. All the animals at the zoo are kept in their natural habitat and here you can come up close with monkeys, jaguars, tapirs, and rare and endangered birds such as the Scarlet Macaw.

The Belize Zoo is home to more than 175 animals of about 48 species, all native to Belize. A great family fun tour for all ages.
