Visit Southwest Florida’s Nationally Accredited Zoo
The Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens is much more than a walk-thru zoo. Cruise on a guided tour through islands of monkeys, lemurs, and apes. Experience engaging zoo keeper talks, wildlife shows in the Safari Canyon Open-Air Theater; alligator feedings, or Jungle Larry™ and Safari Jane’s™ Snakes Alive! show featuring venomous snakes. It’s wild fun from apes to zebras in Southwest Florida’s only nationally accredited zoo! For the first time in forty years, cheetahs have returned to the Naples Zoo!
Hand-feed a Giraffe!
Hand-feed giraffes and discover rarely seen species like Malagasy Fosas or a Komodo dragon. While you may have seen the viral video about the African honey badgers, you can now see them in person at the Naples Zoo. African honey badgers are fierce creatures that can only be seen at four zoos in the USA! You’ll also find favorites like lions, cheetahs, and parrots in the tropical jungle of this historic Naples, Florida botanical garden. With glass wall barriers you will get wildly close to leopards, tigers, bears, panthers, lions, and more.
