::We planned on stopping here to break up the drive from the airport to San ignacio and we're happy we did. The zoo is small but all the animals are rescues and now have a forever home. We've been to a lot of zoos and this one had animals we've never seen before. Make sure you get your tickets to feed the macaw, tapir and jaguar because its worth it.

::This is an incredible zoo. The animals are well taken care of and appear to be very happy. Every single animal has a name! We went with a tour guide but that is not necessary. There are wonderful signs in front of every habitat that explain who the animal is and how they got there. All of the animals are injured or cannot be reintroduced to the wild for other reasons, nothing is captured. They are very environmentally conscious. Rose was my favorite animal!

::A truly wonderful zoo that does amazing work for local animals. The zoo helps rehabilitate and rescue many different animals and takes great care of them. We did the jaguar and macaw experience and absolutely loved getting to interact with the animals so close. You can even stay right next to the zoo at their tropical education center which is a convenient stop near the airport for your first or last day in Belize.

::Super fun experience, especially because we did a guided tour and leopard experience! Would definitely do again. The guide was super knowledgeable and a nice and chill guy. It's great to know that this zoo is one that rehabilitates the animals and only keeps the ones that were injured to the point where they probably would not survive in the wild.

::Rainy season has its perks - we were two of the few people at the zoo and TEC. Our room was adequate, basic, and we were glad for the AC at night. Our dinner and breakfast were very good, and they catered to my daughter's dietary needs. The pristene pool was delightful for both afternoon and morning swims - and cool-downs. The zoo was very interesting, and we appreciate what they are doing for education, care, and rehab for Belizean animals. A lot of important work goes on behind the scenes. While we enjoyed our zoo visit during the afternoon, we LOVED the nocturnal tour to see, hear, and learn more about the night animals that weren't active during the day.
