Botanical, Butterfly & Hummingbird Gardens
You can find butterfly and hummingbird gardens all over the country, but one of the biggest and best, La Paz Waterfall & Gardens, is in the Central Valley near Poas Volcano. There are also several botanical gardens, including those that specialize in

Zoos / Rescue Centers
Zoos / rescue centers are also scattered throughout Cost Rica. Most are in the business of rescuing and caring for injured and orphaned animals but charge an entrance fee to help support their cause. Many offer volunteer opportunities and internships. Contact us to find one right for you.
Especially for Kids
Traveling with young children? Knowing ahead of time where to go to keep the little ones happy, makes everyone's vacation better. There are some parks like the dinosaur park that appeal only to kids and others like the Children's Museum and butterfly gardens that are fun for the whole family.
