Places of Interest in Barbados
Barbados Wildlife Reserve Barbados may not have a zoo but it does have something better. The Barbados Wildlife Reserve is much like a zoo in so far as it is the home to a wide variety of animals such as deer, tortoises, iguanas, monkeys and numerous tropical birds, but at the reserve they are not in cages and visitors are free to walk among them. The reserve also has an impressive show of orchids for visitors to enjoy.
Sunbury Plantation Sunbury Plantation is one of the island’s popular museums. Lavishly furnished with Victorian antiques, the plantation sits among teak and mahogany trees planted as early as 1799, and pleasant gardens. Guided tours of the plantation displaying aspects of plantation life, also includes a tour of a unique collection of horse drawn carriages.
