Barbados Wildlife Reserve

Located in a natural mahogany-wooded area is the Barbados Wildlife Reserve where monkeys frolic among the trees as deer roam the pathways and turtles, tortoises and agouti bask in the sun.

There are over 100 mammals, more than 10 different species of reptiles, and over 470 birds at the reserve, which has been created as a natural habitat for these creatures. The reserve is enclosed to allow them to move around freely. Very few cages can be found on site and visitors can observe the faunae as they eat, play and interact with each other.

Visitors to the reserve can stroll leisurely along the trails and wend their way to the nearby Grenade Hall Forest and Signal Station which is included in the admission price to the reserve.

The station, constructed in 1819, was one of a group of signal stations that were used for communication across the island in the early days of settlement. Strategically placed around the island, these towers were ideal lookout points for sighting approaching ships.

Now they offer exceptional panoramic vistas of the island. Grenade Hall provides a perfect vantage point as its windows look out in every direction. Breathtaking!
