Botanical Gardens Zoo

Georgetown's zoo, inside the Botanical Gardens, desperately needs some investment, but it has a decent collection of creatures nonetheless. You'll see tropical birds, cougars, jaguars, monkeys and caimans. There are also several manatees, but you'll be highly unlikely to see them as they rarely surface. The cage size won't thrill you, but in general the animals are well looked after.
