Ardastra Gardens, Zoo & Conservation Center
Visit the Bahamas' only zoo and see the renowned marching
flamingo shows. Visitors can even encounter Bahamian boa
constrictors, raptors and parrots as their trainers walk them along
pathways throughout the zoo. The natural setting of Ardastra
Gardens allows many of the birds to roam freely and it is not
uncommon to find parrots and peacocks at your feet. Other residents
at the zoo include two jaguars, great horned owls, lemurs, monkeys
and even a pot-bellied pig. The zoo is only a few minutes drive
from Nassau on Paradise Island.
