Caribbean
Gardens What
is Caribbean Gardens?
Caribbean Gardens is a nationally accredited zoo and
yet much more
than a zoo. A natural path almost a mile in length winds past
rare
and beautiful animals residing within a 52-acre jungle of exotic
plants
first planted in 1919 with a fascinating history. In this
tropical setting,
you can take delight at seeing many of your
favorite animals like lions, kangaroos,
and monkeys. In addition,
you'll also discover an array of more rarely seen
creatures like
the endangered African wild dogs or an Asian deer that barks
and
eats meat. Beyond the exhibits and gardens, the best of the zoo
can be seen by
taking in the full day of fun and entertaining presentations
and
activities that have a solid conservation foundation. Safari Canyon
enables
you to understand wildlife in exciting ways through living
animals, wildlife
video, and live camera close-ups. The Primate
Expedition Cruise takes you
through islands inhabited by monkeys,
lemurs, and apes. You can also enjoy
the Scales & Tails Show,
Meet the Keeper Series, and Alligator Bay Feeding.
Children enjoy
touching animals or exploring each of the three play areas. You
can also relax in a tranquil setting looking over the water
to watch the lemurs,
monkeys, and apes on their islands. In the
more densely foliated northern
gardens, you can walk beneath the
expansive canopy of giant ficus trees and
their sprawling aerial
root systems.
Combining conservation and
recreation, Caribbean Gardens: The Zoo
in Naples offers fun for every generation.
You'll also discover a
number of ways to get involved in helping animals.
The zoo is
accredited by the prestigious American Zoo and Aquarium Association
and is also an institutional member of the American Association of
Zoo
Keepers, Inc.
