Belize Zoo

The Belize Zoo is a perfect place to visit in Belize if you are having vacations with kids. A visit to the zoo is a way to get an introduction to the animals of Belize and to understand why it is important to protect the habitats that sustain them. It houses over 125 animals, all native Belizean species and it is considered a national treasure. The Belize Zoo was started in 1983, shortly after the backyard “zoo” began, then it was realized that Belizean visitors were unfamiliar with the different species of wildlife of Belize. This situation fomented the commitment to develop the little zoo into a dynamic wildlife education center. Thousands of foreigners, kids, and teachers visit the Belize Zoo each year. Whenever visit the Sunbreeze Suites, do not forget to get your kids to the Belize Zoo to learn more about animals and wildlife.
