Stroller Rentals
Children's wagons or strollers are available for a $5.00 rental along with a $10.00 deposit. All rentals are on a first come/first served basis. For general safety, wagons and strollers are to remain outside the Safari Canyon theater and on shore while you come aboard the Primate Expedition Cruise.

Baby Facilities
Additionally for guests with little ones, Baby Changing Stations are located in both men's and women's restrooms. There is also a family restroom located on Shoreline Trail in addition to the men's and women's restrooms.

Wheelchair Rentals
The zoo has wheelchairs that are available for a $5.00 rental along with a $10.00 deposit. Please keep in mind that a second person may be required who is physically able to push the wheelchair on the paved paths.

All rentals are on a first come/first served basis.


Wheelchair Accessibility
Naples Zoo has restrooms accessible for those with disabilities in the main gift shop and also has accesible restrooms and a family bathroom on Shoreline Trail in the zoo. There are concrete sidewalks to Safari Canyon and the Subway Café and paved walkways throughout the Zoo. Wheelchairs may be taken into the Safari Canyon theater with the chairs placed at a slight angle to allow enough space between the animals and the guest in the wheelchair.

For the safety of our guests in wheelchairs during boarding of the Primate Expedition Cruise, wheelchairs may not be accommodated on the catamarans due to varying levels of the lake. Similar to many rides at attractions, guests in wheelchairs must leave the chair on the dock and transfer into one of the seats on the boat.

The main path through the garden is almost a mile in length and is paved. There are some alternate paths and viewing areas that have natural paths. Click here for a zoo map.

Guide Dogs / Medically Necessary Care Animals
Guests and their medically necessary animals are welcome at the zoo as guaranteed by the American with Disabilities Act. It is our intent for all guests and zoo staff to safely enjoy the zoo's experiences and to be responsible stewards of the rare animals in our care. Because Naples Zoo displays animals very close to our guests and often without any physical barrier during our presentations and because our staff has direct contact with many animals, we do have the following considerations for the safety of the zoo animals, owners of guide dogs, other guests, and zoo staff. We recognize that guide dogs are highly trained and reliable. The considerations below for these two environments are based on the exotic animals' reactions to the presence of a unfamiliar dog, not the guide dog's actions or responses. Guide dogs are also welcome to rest in the zoo's air-conditioned office space for all or part of the day where they will be away from the general public and provided water.

Planet Predator in Safari Canyon: As the guide dog would be in very close proximity to the exotic cats, the instinct of the feline predator would possibly lead to an attempt to attack an unfamiliar dog. As animal handlers are in direct contact with exotic cats in this area, an agitated exotic cat could easily turn its aggression from the dog toward our staff or injure itself in the attempt to reach the guide dog.Thus, guide dogs pose a dangerous risk for our zoo staff and the rare animals in this special setting.

Primate Expedition Cruise: The primates residing on the island system may exhibit a "flight response" caused by the presence of a perceived predator in their vicinity. This response could lead to the monkeys, apes, or lemurs leaping into the water and drowning.

As a lover of animals and a zoo supporter, your understanding is greatly appreciated as the zoo carefully makes decisions for your safety and enjoyment along with the best interests of our animal collection.
