St. Maarten Zoo

Located on Arch Road, Philipsburg, the small,
cute St. Maarten Zoo is considered to be an
animal park which children absolutely loves.
You can interact with most of the animals and
there’s crackers available for purchase which you
will use to feed the animals - a simply delightful
experience! New animal friends will be made -
the animal crackers will be the ice breaker.

The monkeys are quite friendly and if you’re not
afraid to get up close and personal with snakes,
you can even hold one. On a self-guided tour
along the clearly marked route, you’ll see animals
such as iguanas, monkeys, donkeys, goats, rabbits,
beautiful tropical birds, tortoises and the majestic
peacock.
It’s not all about animals though. There is also a
splash pool and playground for the children who
visit.
Pleasant memories!
