Belize Zoo

The Belize Zoo: Wild Encounters, Jungle Vibes


Looking for a wildlife experience that’s as real as it gets? The Belize Zoo is where rescued, rehabilitated, and orphaned animals find their forever home—and where you get to meet over 150 native species up close and personal.

This isn’t your typical zoo. Set on 29 acres of lush forest, it feels like stepping into the heart of Belize’s wilderness. From tapirs (our national animal!) and majestic jaguars to colorful scarlet macaws and cheeky spider monkeys, every encounter is straight out of a nature documentary.

Why Visit?

• It’s not just a zoo—it’s a conservation hub for Belize’s most iconic animals.

• The first fully accessible nature destination in Belize, making it welcoming for everyone.

• You’ll wander through pathways where iguanas and agoutis roam freely alongside you.
