What to do and see in Nassau, New Providence Island: The Best Gardens
Nassau teems with Bahamian and British flavor. The capital city of the Bahamas boasts miles of spectacular beaches and stretches of vivid coral reefs perfect for snorkeling. Shop, dine, and sightsee, particularly along busy Bay Street, or if you're a James Bond fan, visit the British Colonial Hotel, which was used as a filming location for two of the Sean Connery-era movies. Visit during the famed Junkanoo Festival to experience a high-energy parade of spectacularly costumed dancers.

It poured rain the day we visited so there weren't many people. We got some real close up experiences with the animals. Highlights were feeding the lory parrots, the marching flamingos, the flamingos in the wild, and peacocks and parrots that are out in the open around the center.
