The Naples Zoo

Naples, Florida

Our Mission

The Naples Zoo is a nationally accredited zoo and 501 (c) (3) charitable organization. The zoo's paved paths wind nearly a mile past rare and beautiful animals residing within a historic tropical garden of exotic plants first planted in 1919 with a fascinating history.

Who We Are

Rooted in nearly a century of conservation, today's Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens is a nonprofit with a rich history. In 2014, we celebrated four anniversaries: 95 years as a botanical garden; 60 years being open to the public; 45 years as a zoo; and 10 years since the Collier County referendum vote to purchase the land. It's been a wild 95 years with an even more exciting future ahead! Today, Naples Zoo is poised for another great step forward. With a Master Plan that creates exciting new ways to connect children with nature including our historic botanicals, we invite you to be part of the ongoing success and promising future that awaits by visiting, becoming a member, or becoming a donor.
