This is a great day out, really enjoyed feeding the varied colourful birds There is so much to explore, the boat trip is short but worthwhile as you see plenty of wildlife and we also got to hold a couple of beautiful albino ball pythons. Really good to see it reopened after a very well done extensive upgrade, taking disability access into account. Highly recommended, go early before it gets too hot but the little cafe does a lovely refreshing iced coffee. Superb.

I have been the Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary once many years ago, but they closed for quite a while; now they are opened again and absolutely stunning.
The entire place is just beautiful and peaceful. There were some schools there while we were there and the teachers etc. kept their large groups pretty quiet.
The short walk through is easy and with lovely sights. It's fun to get some fish food and feed the Tarpon in the "lake". It's even more fun to get some bird food and feed the birds in the aviary. Get both fish and bird food from the ticket hut.
The aviary can be a whole lot of fun with the bird food. Some of the stunning Macaws might fly your way, but we found a couple hanging out on a post within reach and they were all too happy to munch on the food we had. There are quite a few smaller birds that flew onto us to get the food. But they are only interested in the food, without it they keep their distance. They are still gorgeous to see though, even if they aren't coming to you.
It was a great hour and a half or so for us, and we missed out on some of the other things to see/do.
It's an easy to get to and access sight on the south coast. I wouldn't call it a must see, but if you have the extra time and/or just want to have a peaceful nature experience, this is a great option.

Graeme Hall visit is well worth the expense including the little quiete boat to see the egrets and nests with chick's on the island. The tarpons are now massive. The averry is spectator. It was all closed for a long time but at great expense preserved to be re opened recently. Nice for an exotic wedding too!

Such a wonderful place. We went just after opening and it was very peaceful.
We saw so many birds including an osprey and a humming bird, which was amazing.
The staff were friendly and very informative.
The cafe made a great iced coffee too 😄
A haven of tranquility and wildlife in the hustle and bustle of Barbados.
Highly recommend

Discovered it by accident as I was looking for something entirely different and in the route information this popped up. Naturally I had to visit
It's good value, I like the layout and self your you can do . Boat ride in Lake Tarpon was very nice , with friendly and highly knowledgeable staff..
My favourite was the Aviary, feeding and being with the parrots and macaws. One even said hello in a soft British voice . Very cool and definitely ticked off my parrot interaction
The lady staff there was also kind , inquisitive and helpful and enjoyed the conversation of culture we had. More and more I realise more Kenyans should visit Barbados haha 😆
The restaurant was very nice , the Acai food bowl was absolutely delicious, especially given how hot the day was, that frozen touch was awesome
Definitely worth the visit.
