Ardastra Gardens

Minutes away from Downtown Nassau, families flock to the Ardastra Gardens, Zoo and Conservation Centre. The main attraction? Up-close encounters and a synchronized performance by The Bahamas’ national bird. And while these brilliant pink beauties certainly steal the show, there is much to discover beyond their stage.

Spend an afternoon wandering the gardens, where the tropical vegetation is thick and lush. Hand-feed playful Lory parrots and don’t be surprised if you come across a peacock or two. This is, after all, a wildlife rescue & rehab facility.

Queen's Staircase

Junkanoo World Museum

Beyond the zoo, there are plenty of activities suited for the whole family. Why not start at Queen's Staircase? Sixty-six steps into this charming grotto, towering limestone walls, palm trees, and a waterfall create an intimate oasis. And what's a family day without some beach time? Cable Beach is lined with resorts and restaurants, and renowned for its beauty. Over at the Junkanoo World Museum & Arts Centre, you’ll find a uniquely immersive cultural experience that at any moment can break into an impromptu Junkanoo jam session.
