The aquarium has been damaged due to hurricane damage. They had some of it open. We enjoyed the different animals in the zoo that we don't usually see. The bus stops right at the zoo.
I wouldn't recommend this place for strollers, it's so narrow and a little annoying to get through. Especially if it's crowded. We were almost there by ourselves! Some parts are very smelly and unclean looking. Seal tank looked dirty as well. Overall a nice place to spend an hour or two on a nice day. One thing that was really ridiculous was the gift shop closing an hour before the zoo closed. Why, just why?
Let me start off by saying this zoo was very hands on. Lots of areas had open exhibits or the ability to interact with the animals, bugs, or marine life. They had an abundant supply of animals we would never get in Canada and it was very well maintained. Spent maybe 90 minutes walking through the entire zoo and enjoyed it. The zoo itself is right at a major bus stop so very easy to get too without taking a scooter or taxi and relatively cheap to go in. With kids i could easily see a family spending an entire afternoon here.
We brought some friends to visit the aquarium and zoo without realizing that the main building was still closed for repairs after the hurricane this fall. It was unfortunate, because the aquarium is one of the highlights of the visit. The aquarium building is almost 100 years old so there is a lot of history as well as some fascinating marine life that is usually on display. The rest of the zoo is still intact and definitely worth a visit. The animals are fairly small and the cages are quite large, so they are well cared for and quite comfortable compared to other zoos you might have visited before. Be sure to check out the pink flamingos, especially at feeding time. They are an amazing sight to see.
The aquarium was under repair, at least part of the facility was. There was only one small room for the aquarium and nothing was labeled, so you weren't able to tell what the fish were. The zoo was nice but nothing special. The price is quite reasonable though.
This facility is worthy of 2 or more hours of your time. The exhibits are well thought out, and outside there's more stuff to see, which is good. Alot of schools have tours there to teach students about the sea life around Bermuda. I would recommend this for a cloudy day when you're not going to the beach. The staff is great, and will answer any question you may have about the exhibits.
Located at the narrows of Flatts Bride on Harrington Sound this is a quiet but well done experience. Has both indoor and outdoor attractions includding a very good comparison to Madagascar island including captive Lemurs.Restaurant on site this is also a good place for families.Watching the tide turn under Flatts bridge outside of the Aquarium is a fascinating bonus.Under some reno's catching the Bus back to Hamilton is a little dicey as the sidewalk is closed until complete.
Something to do on a drizzly day but more for little kids, not geared to a couple. Did enjoy the flamingos though and the seals are always cute. Outside of that, we walked through it going through the motions. Could have saved the expense of purchasing the tickets.
It looks small when you get off the bus stop, but it is bigger than it looks. The aquarium is first which is inside. Then you go outside for the zoo. It's not huge, but that's the nice thing about it. They also have the museum which is very educational. I would go back for another visit.
I am a member of BAM&Z. Its a quiet and serine atmosphere .Great for families. Planned seasonal activities for children and families. There is a restaurant and gift shop on site. Great food and gift shop has lovely souvenirs Currently the Aquarium is under going much needed repairs, replacing the roof, however this has not stopped visitation. They have made adjustment which allows visits to continue safely for all.
