Emperor Valley Zoo, nestled in the northern edge of Port of Spain, offers a family-friendly encounter with a variety of animals from Trinidad and beyond. The zoo is home to native species like the red howler monkey and agouti, as well as exotic animals such as lions, tigers, and reptiles. Its small size makes it easy to navigate in a couple of hours, and the shady pathways provide a pleasant stroll. The zoo also participates in conservation efforts, making it both an entertaining and educational stop for visitors interested in wildlife.

  • See Trinidad's national bird, the scarlet ibis, in the aviary.
  • Watch the playful antics of capuchin monkeys in their enclosure.
