Things to do in St Lucia

I grew up in this area during the 1980s, and this place was once a highlight of our family’s Sunday outings. Seeing it now broke my heart.The once-beautiful enclosures are unclean and neglected, signs have faded, roofs have collapsed, and the walkways are unsafe. The cages stand empty and full of dust, while the water features lie dry and overgrown.Although most of the animals still seem healthy, their surroundings are in a sad state of decay. It’s painful to see a place that once brought so much joy fall so far — and at nearly R200 per couple... Cash Only, it’s hard to justify the visit.
