Naples Zoo

Naples Zoo has restrooms accessible for those with disabilities in the main gift shop and also has accessible restrooms and a family bathroom on Shoreline Trail in the zoo.

There are concrete sidewalks to Safari Canyon and the Café and paved walkways throughout the Zoo. Wheelchairs may be taken into the Safari Canyon theater where there are wheelchair-reserved spaces in the front row.

For the safety of our guests in wheelchairs during boarding of the Primate Expedition Cruise, wheelchairs may not be accommodated on the catamarans due to varying levels of the lake. Similar to many rides at attractions, guests in wheelchairs must leave the chair on the dock and transfer into one of the seats on the boat.

The main path through the garden is almost a mile in length and is paved. There are some alternate paths and viewing areas that have natural paths. Click here for a zoo map.

Skunk Ape

The Everglades is also home to the Florida panther, black bear and both the American alligator and the Florida crocodile. All of these species are protected. Alligators, although protected, are by no means endangered. Approximately one million alligators inhabit Florida swamplands. Alligators have accounted for many human deaths throughout Florida in recent years. Never enter an alligator’s cave in search of Skunk Apes. Not only could you be trapped by submerged roots and drown, you could also be bitten and possibly dismembered or killed. The best method for determining if Skunk Ape’s are frequenting an alligator cave is to look for tracks and droppings at the cave’s entrance. IMPORTANT NOTE: Poisonous snakes are frequently found in the vicinity of these watery depressions, USE CAUTION.
