My husband thought this was for kids but we both found out differently. What an amazing place. I cannot say anything bad about this place. Lots of amazing animals.

This zoo was the best I've ever been to! It's beautifully landscaped with lots of lush palms and very exotic greens and flowers. They have a primate boat cruise, feeding the giraffes, opportunities to see animals VERY close up...it was amazing. The black panther they had was a great site as well as a ferocious Indian Tiger we got to... More

The best thing about Naples Zoo is that their animals are not purchased from the wild, they are culled from other zoos. This is a small zoo, but it is also relatively inexpensive and it has some excellent features. First is the zoo educational programs. The trainers and keepers are very knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge with guests.... More

It's clean, the animals are well taken care of and beautiful. We liked the fact that the vegetation has signs so non-native Floridians know what it is. There are benches everywhere with lots of shade so even on a hot day, you can relax and enjoy your surroundings. Our grandchildren (13 & 14) love it as they can get pictures... More

My husband and I were on vacation in Naples and spent an entire day at the zoo. The Meet the Zookeeper shows were excellent, so informative and a great way to see the animals more up close. The two animal shows & primate expedition cruise were also educational and enjoyable. All in all, this zoo, although not very large, is... More

I've been to Zoos all over the world... wasn't expecting much from the Naples Zoo... but they really have a nice place. Not too big, but some really nice exhibits and exotic animals. Two gorgeous Tigers and a new Cheetah habitat are the real gems here.

Not very big, but it was nice. But don't visit on the first Saturday of the month as it is free for Collier county residents and it was packed the day we went.

It is a very pleasant zoo to walk around and there is a reasonable selection of animals from all parts of the world. The zoo's strength was the 'shows' put on by the keepers. They were delivered in a light hearted humorous manner but were very interesting and informative. Included in the ticket price was a cruise around islands where... More

The woman who sold us our tickets was over the top amazing. We arrived late in the afternoon and she told us exactly how to scamper from one show to the boat ride and the tiger feeding so we could get it all in. The giraffe feeding was the highlight if my month. (Ok-I am easily amused). I will be... More
