Guyana Botanical Gardens, Georgetown

The gardens occupy a large area that represent the flora in multiple areas of Guyana. It is ideal for walking and exploring. Diverse birds occupy the canopies and is a haven for bird watching. It was a joy to see a tree canopy full of white cranes. A must see if you like jungle flora.

This is a nice place to visit. Also, it is close to the Guyana zoo. We enjoyed walking through the park.

For a Zoo in a Caribbean country, they have a nice selection of animals, but aware it is rather small and did do not have large animals that most people would expect to see in other Zoo, like Rhinos, Lions, Giraffes, etc. The place is Caribbean picturesque fairly well kept and the animals look well fed. Next to the Zoo, there is a large canal maze for Manatees, but the water is so dirty that nobody can see a manatee. Also, the larger part of the site is for walking into paths to several mausoleums in commemoration of several former prime ministers and various other honorable members of society. Very family-oriented with several groups bringing small children. Fast food vendors are available in the park.

Botanical Gardens is a beautiful place for relaxation and bird watching. The garden is well-maintained and have a wide variety of flora and fauna. The gardens are also great for taking photos. I would highly recommend Botanical Gardens to anyone looking for a relaxing place to spend a day.

The Botanical Gardens feature lovely landscapes and breathtaking bird views. It is a reminder of our Colonial history and the burial site for former president of Guyana, Forbes Burnham. It is a popular place to visit for picnics and family time on the weekends. The Gardens are in need of a fresh makeover and the zoo is also the same.
