Is there a Barbados zoo? No, actually we have something even better - a wildlife reserve!
The Barbados Wildlife Reserve is located in a natural mahogany wood across the road from the Farley Hill National Park in the northern parish of St. Peter.
Here you have a unique opportunity to stroll freely through the Reserve watching the animals at close range and in their own natural environment. There are few cages and the animals can be observed as they eat, play and interact with the other animals.
What types of animals will you spot here?
•The Barbados Green Monkeys are common and are especially popular at the afternoon feeding time. Note that the monkeys are free to leave the reserve and often do so during the day.
•Birds vary from colourful parrots, flamingoes and peacocks to brown pelicans and sparrows. The walk-through aviary is a special treat!
•Reptile lovers will appreciate the collection of snakes (these are in cages!), iguanas, turtles and tortoises.
•Non-native animals include the Brocket Deer, agouti, caiman (looks like an alligator) and armadillo.
This is a great Barbados attraction for the whole family, with children in particular having a wonderful time. Be sure to make a visit to the Wildlife Reserve part of your Barbados vacation.
Your entrance fee to the Barbados Wildlife Reserve also gains admission to the adjoining Grenade Hall Forest and Signal Station so be sure to head over there once you've completed your tour of the reserve.

Nick Lido in Barbados: Green Monkeys of Wild Life Reserve
Produced and Featured by Nick Lido's Travel Journal. In 2012 Nick visited the Wild Life Reserve. HISTORY:The Barbados Wildlife Reserve is located in the parish of Saint Peter, Barbados. It occupies four acres of mahogany forest near the top of Farley Hill, next to Grenade Hall Signal Station and Forest.
It was established by Canadian primatologist Jean Baulu and his wife, Suzanne. They first founded the Barbados Primate Research Centre on the site in 1982, for the conservation and study of Green Monkeys, which were brought to Barbados in the 17th century and are now widespread on the island. It was expanded into a wildlife reserve in 1985, with funding from the Canadian International Development Agency.
In addition to the Green Monkeys, which roam freely in and out of the fenced enclosure, the Wildlife Reserve also keeps a variety of other animals, many of which roam the Reserve freely without separation from visitors. These include Red Brockets, Red-footed Tortoises, Patagonian Maras, Cuban Rock Iguanas, and numerous caged tropical birds.
The buildings in the Wildlife Reserve are all constructed from coral rock, excavated from nearby sugarcane fields. All of the bricks that form its paths were recycled from sugar factories.
Red-footed tortoises (land turtles) in a procreation embrace in the Barbados Wildlife Reserve
Two red-footed tortoises (land turtles) getting it on at the Barbados Wildlife Reserve across the road from the Farley Hill National Park in the northern parish of St. Peter. It's easy to miss the entrance, but so worth a visit. Suggest visiting around 2pm when the monkey's get fed. (note: the entrance fee to the Barbados Wildlife Reserve also gains admission to the adjoining Grenade Hall Forest and Signal Station, worth a look as well).
Interesting fact: The unique body shape of the male Red-footed tortoise facilitates the mating process by allowing him to maintain his balance during copulation while the female walks around, seemingly attempting to dislodge the male by walking under low-hanging vegetation.
