Naples Zoo in downtown Naples, Florida has tons of natural attractions for both young and old. Exotic animals are all excited to interact and put on a show to all the visitors of this animal home. A day’s trip to the zoo is sure to be fun and exciting for both parents and kids as everyone will get the chance to feed giraffes and watch leopards take a nap, bears roll and play around and more. You may also get to witness monkeys up close and personal with a boat ride. There are so many things that you and your family will get to enjoy and we’ll list down some of them for you.
Gators
Alligators are one of the main attractions in the zoo. These monsters have not changed much since the time of the dinosaurs. They have thick hides and vicious fangs that can tear raw meat. And you will get to see them on a safe distance as they are being fed with big chunks of red meat. The show they make is probably the closest thing we can get to a real-life Jurassic Park.
Giraffes
Giraffes are exotic long necked friendly giants that are awesome to behold. What’s even better is that you can get the chance to feed them yourself. Giraffes love fresh and juicy cabbages and will gladly eat some if you have any with you. It’s always amusing to see their long tongues curl around the leafy greens then have a good meal for themselves. Hope you don’t mind the drooling.
Monkeys
Monkeys are entertaining animals. They are smart and very playful. In Naples Zoo, you can avail a boat ride that will take you through and around the mangroves and trees where numerous monkeys roam freely. You can have a close interaction with them and there will be a tour guide who can educate everyone about our closest relatives and what they’re all about.
Garden
Animals are not the only ones taking the spotlight in Naples Zoo. There is also a beautiful garden packed with neat landscape such that the placement of every flower and every plant are well thought of. Here, you can also mingle with ducks and butterflies that enjoy in the loop trail around the garden area. Somewhere, there is also a Koi pond in which you can see healthy and colorful Koi swimming here and there. Like the giraffes, you may also get the chance to feed these ornamental fishes.
These are just a few of the attractions you and your kids can enjoy in Naples Zoo in downtown Naples Florida.
