A zoo that aims to bring visitors closer to Belize's natural heritage: the country's natural environment is kept intact here, and the animals in the zoo (well over 100 of them) are all native to Belize. None of the animals were taken from the wild—all were rescued, born at the zoo, injured and brought in for rehabilitation, or sent from other facilities. Wheelchair accessible.
