I've traveled back and forth to Belize every year for 25 years and knew this zoo when it was nothing but cages. Now a tourist can see healthy animals, birds,etc. in the natural habitat invironments provided for them. Nice walkways, clear information about the animals, shaded areas, a gift & snack shop, covered picnic area, outdoor bathrooms are clean. Easy to reach on Belize's excellent bus system. Well worth the trip.
