My husband and I were at the zoo on Feb 11th and really enjoyed it. It is a small zoo with a lot of animal/person interaction. Feeding the Flory parrots apples out of our hands was really fun. These colorful little birds would land on your hand, shoulder, and even your head. The young lady that was in the enclosure... more

but the grown-ups though it was kind of lame. Basically a small city zoo, with an odd assortment of animals from around the world. IMHO, it would be better if they focused on Bahamian wildlife. The grounds are beautiful, as are the many tropical birds. The flamingo show is very hokey, but the kids liked it. more

We also walked to the zoo from the Fish Fry.. the zoo is nothing spectacular.. the Flamingo show was not bad, I participated in the the line-up when they called people from the audience, which was fun! it's something different which we had never seen before.. I think it would be a fun place for kids more

This was my third trip to the bahamas and I fall more in love with it each time. My husband and I took the 10 jitney and were dropped off by the fish fry. We walked to the zoo. I think we spent maybe an hour and a half there and the only reason we took so long was because... more

I read the reviews on this site and elsewhere, and thought Ardastra Gardens would be wonderful, but instead, for $15, I got a ticket to one of the biggest tourist traps I've ever visited. The "Flamingo Show" consists of a man in an Idi Amin dictator suit screaming at a line of bored flamingos. The vegetation in the gardens seemed... more

This is great little spot to check out if you have some extra time in Nassau. Kids would love this outing! The marching flamingos are worth watching - I was lucky enough to enter the ring and get surrounded by these sweet and curious birds. The show runs three times a day at 1000, 1400 and 1600. We spent about... more

I have three children ages 3, 6 and 9. They all love visiting Ardastra Gardens. It is a nice way to get some relief from the sun and let the kids run around. Be sure to see the Marching Flamingos they only perform twice a day so check the schedule. more

Ardastra Gardens is a combination botanical garden and exotic animal zoo. You can hand feed the lory parrots several times a day as well as mingle with the famous marching flamingos. It is incredibly inexpensive for what you are able to see and do. If you pop into a local hotel for a Nassau map you may even find a... more

if you have multiple days on the island and are tired of beach activities, this is a decent alternative. do not plan your vacation around this.... its small, they have mostly birds, and the flamingo show is lame. you can tackle this attraction in 30 minutes. the only good part is how close you get to the animals compared to... more
