Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens
A zoo set in a century-old tropical garden. Boat tours take you around the primate island, and you can feed giraffes and see Florida panthers.
Naples Zoo was built in Caribbean Gardens, a site first developed in 1919. Its lush tropical plants are home to giraffes, lions, tigers, honey badgers and Florida panthers, among other animals. A highlight is the boat tour around a small island in the lake, where you can see lemurs and gibbons. You can also pay to feed the giraffes. The zoo is of medium size and can be seen in half a day, making it a good choice for families. Admission costs about US$40. It is north of the city centre, about 10 minutes' drive from Fifth Avenue South.
