Quote: Belize Zoo is a short journey from Belize City and can be reached by bus, as always just ask the driver to stop. I went with the family I lived with in Belize. The zoo contains animals local to the region rather than elephants, etc., so if you are... Read the full Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center review

Quote: The Belize Zoo is wonderful in that it is not a tourist attraction. Clearly, it is there for the people of Belize. The zoo contains most of the native animals of Belize, and I found it very enjoyable to finally see a howler monkey (I had certainly... Read the full Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center review

Quote: We did not have to fly out until 3:00 p.m. so we had time to stop at the Belize Zoo before going to the airport. It is located on the Western Highway between Belize City and Belmopan. It only takes about an hour to see the whole zoo, so I would... Read the full Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center review

Quote: A delightful, albeit unusal, zoo where the local animals are named - such as April the Tapir and can be viewed 'up close and personal' without the usual distance from the animals found in zoos in the States. You can visit this zoo by yourself and... Read the full Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center review

Quote: Make the most of your stay in San Ignacio by ending it with a stop at the zoo on your way to the airport in Belize. Maya Mountain Lodge will do this for you for a small charge and will allow ample time at the zoo for you to tour. American airlines... Read the full Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center review
