    Pathetic, Dirty and a WASTE of Money
    Review of: Ardastra Gardens, Zoo & Conservation Centre Admission Ticket

    On a Disney cruise and this looked like a nice relaxing way to spend a few hours. I was wrong. Did they like kill and eat all the animals?? Cages empty, cages dirty, park dirty. The lame bird show was the only small highlight -...More

    Family fun!

    Spent the afternoon wandering around, there is everything from fish and birds to monkeys. Feeding the birds and watching the flamingos was so fun. If you like tropical animals this is a must!

    Very Pleasant Experience

    This is by no means the same caliber as the San Diego Zoo, but it was very enjoyable. We fed the Lorikeets and saw the flamingo show. The staff are courteous and helpful. Nassau was one of the ports of call on the cruise and...More

    Love the Flamingos and Lorries

    We are members of the zoo and we love it. My son really likes to feed the Lorikeets and the staff takes their time to carefully explain the history of the animals and the zoo.

    Review of: Ardastra Gardens, Zoo & Conservation Centre Admission Ticket

    Our family was not all that impressed with the Gardens/zoo. There are only a handful of animals: pigs, a raccoon, iguana, flamingos, monkeys, birds, snakes, and turtles. The tour guide wanted the group to stay together.More
