Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens

Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens is a 50-acre zoological park established in the 1960s, featuring animal exhibits, tropical plants, and a petting zoo. The park houses over 70 species, including African lions, alligators, and a historic botanical garden planted with rare and exotic flora from around the world. Visitors can engage in animal encounters, enjoy boat tours around the primate islands, and explore the lush gardens, ideal for a leisurely stroll. Early mornings are less crowded and offer a chance to see the animals active. Remember to bring water and sunscreen as the Florida sun can be intense.
