The Ardastra Gardens, Zoo and Conservation Centre has been a premier attraction in Nassau since it opened in 1937 as just the gardens. It expanded exponentially over the years and is now best known for its flamingoes, which were brought in the 1950s for breeding purposes as they were becoming rarer. Now there are over 200 animals for visitors to see; in addition to their world-famous flamingoes, you’ll come across pigs, lemurs, iguanas, snakes, parrots, peacocks, and many other species of birds, reptiles, and mammals. It’s a great place for the entire family to visit as not only will you be able to meet the animals and see them thrive, you’ll also get to see fun shows and participate in feedings - a guaranteed unique experience for all!
