On New Providence Island, kids can walk among the national birds of the Bahamas, pink flamingos, after the daily flamingo marches at the Ardastra Gardens, Zoo, and Conservation Centre. There, you’ll also encounter other Bahamian natives like boa constrictors (smaller than you’d think), parrots, turtles and other tropical birds, some of which roam the grounds freely or with their trainers. The lush garden zoo is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, and is located near Cable Beach.
