Jamaican horticulturist Hedley Vivian Edwards first established this
facility in 1937 which today houses over 200 different varieties of
animals. Covering more than four acres, the tropical gardens, zoo and

Flamingo, other bird species, reptiles and a wide array of mammals and
tropical plants. This is the only zoo in the Bahamas and it is also the venue
