Guyana Zoo
A very small zoo with DIY cages for the animals. A lot of the cages are too small for the animals they house. However, the zoo is a cheap way to spend an hour or two while in Georgetown. You can see parakeets, toucans, birds of prey, agoutis, caymans, monkeys, tapirs, pumas, jaguars and sealife in its aquarium.
G$200/adults, G$100/children
