We needed an activity for aging parents and this small zoo was exactly right. The grounds are well kept and the staff warm and welcoming. We especially liked the pink famingo presentation. It was informative and funny. Got to hand feed the birds and loved how they flew to our hands and ate apples. A great low key, easy to... More

We stopped here on our way to the Fish Fry for lunch (about a 10-15 minute walk from Fish Fry) - it was exactly as most visitors described. Hardly a zoo, more like a bird sanctuary, not crowded at all (we went on a Friday afternoon). You can get a $2 coupon from the map provided by your hotel, which... More

We needed to do something other than the regular tourist shops and restaurants. Ardastra was a great alternative. We got off our cruise ship, turned right and followed Bay St for an easy 30 min. walk (passed Junkanoo Beach) then turned left at the big Ardastra sign. We were glad to pay the $16 each entrance fee and greatly enjoyed... More

We had a delightful time walking around the gardens and seeing the flamingos up close. Cool pink birds!

i enjoyed seeing the nice flamingos and learning that they are pink because they eat shrimp. some of the liitle animals could have been better displayed and the zoo a bit cleaner but all in all it was enjoyable.

Definitely go and feed the birds apples right from your hands. I think they fed them around 11 am. It was so fun and worth the somewhat steep price to get in. It's a fun activity to do with kids. I loved all the kinds of birds and small animals. Definitely not something I'd want to do in the summer... More

My daughter wanted to go to this zoo after reading good reviews on trip advisor. I couldn't believe it! Very depressing after coming from Paradise Island. We took a taxi from the ferry to here and then to the Arawak Cay. By paying the admittance fee I hope I made a contribution to taking care of the animals otherwise I... More

This was our second trip to Nassau in the past 5 months. We didn't really plan out our last visit, but this time we did. Our travel agent had highly recommended Ardastra Gardens as a must see. He mentioned the Marching Flamingos, which intrigued me. We found the #10 bus to take us from downtown to get to the zoo.... More

If you want to get away from the crowds and nonstop shopping that is Nassau when the cruise ships are docked, take a taxi to Ardastra Gardens and just relax. I had visited this little zoo with its winding paths and lush foliage ten years ago with my then five-year-old, and she enjoyed it just as much as a teenager... More
