About Barbados Wildlife Reserve
At the Barbados Wildlife Reserve you stroll freely among animals feeding and playing in their natural surroundings: green monkeys, agouti, armadillo, brocket deer, tortoises, iguanas, parrots and peacocks, with only the more dangerous animals kept enclosed. The monkeys are most plentiful at the afternoon feeding, and Visit Barbados advises arriving by 2pm. It opens daily from 10am to 3pm; it has no working website, so call ahead.
