Belize City and Zoo Combo

Get up close and personal with entertaining zoo animals, then visit the main attractions of Belize City including St. John's Cathedral, Government House and the Supreme Court Building.

The fun begins as you step into Belize Zoo's lush 84-acre tropical savanna and discover its unique history. Founded in 1983 as a way to house animals used in documentary films, this national zoo is a popular Belize excursion and has over 150 animals - many of them orphaned, rescued, rehabilitated or received by other zoological institutions. The clean, spacious habitat enclosures allow the animals to live close to their natural environment while allowing you an up-close view of them. You will be introduced to the zoo manager and enjoy a brief introduction to the zoo. Watch spider monkeys at play, note the graceful walk of the deer and compare 21 different types of lizards. Several species of native cats call this zoo home, along with bears, lemurs and a variety of other exotics.

Once in Belize City you will stop at St. John's Cathedral, the first church in colonial Belize. This historical landmark was built in the early 1800s by slaves using the brick ballasts from ships. Take time at the stately Government House to examine the historical exhibits. At the Supreme Court building, look up to see the clock tower. This colonial-style structure was erected in 1926 on the grounds of the original courthouse that was destroyed in a fire several years earlier. While in the city enjoy a traditional Belizean lunch (not included) as you observe the daily life of locals.

Reserve your spot now for this delightful introduction to the animals of Belize and a good overview of Belize City that is sure to be the highlight of your trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed the zoo and city tour in Belize. The zoo is located in a picturesque rainforest setting. Our combination driver guide did an excellent job throughout the entire excursion. Belize is a beautiful country and I look forward to visiting it again. The trip to the zoo provides a great opportunity to see much of the countryside.

Great guide, but miserable heat.
As far as the Belize City tour went it was actually a four star. The zoo was a complete bust. The temperature was 100 degrees and most of the animals were trying to find a cool spot. There were only four of us on the excursion, my wife, two other ladies and myself. My wife and one other ladies got overheated and had to go back early to the van to cool off.

Our guide guide, Irwin, was a five star. He gave me the keys to the van so I could get her back there to cool off as quickly as possible. He stopped on the way back from the zoo to let us purchase fresh mango and when one of the other ladies ask about local food, he took us to an off the beaten path restaurant near the dock for lunch where only the locals eat. This wasn't on the agenda for the excursion but was a great experience. He's the only reason the excursions gets three stars instead of one.

Beautiful animals
Enjoyed this trip into the rain forest to see the animals indigenous to Belize. Tour guide was knowledgeable and personable. The zoo itself was easy to navigate. We had time to eat in the clean snack bar/gift shop with Wi-Fi available. Proceeds of purchases went back into maintaining the zoo.

Belize City and Zoo Combo
Our guide and driver were both very helpful and professional, and knew a lot about all the animals and their history at the zoo. The zoo houses rescued animals and has a great gift shop. The city tour was on each way to the zoo, so we could looked out the window and learn about the city en route to and from the zoo. It was very interesting and a nice scenic drive.

Nice, But Summertime
We would definitely do this tour again, but preferably not in the summertime which was bad timing on our part. The zoo is about 30 miles from port in the rainforest and it was hot, humid and sweaty! Take a water bottle. The Zoo itself was fun and the tour guide Irwin was great with knowledge. Highly recommend you eat at the caf� in the zoo, the native food was fantastic.
