St. Maarten Zoo Photo Credit:: 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.

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! Photo Credit: Julie Tese Photo Credit:: St. Maarten Zoo
