How Solo-Friendly is Flamingo Wildlife Habitat?

79%Solo-Friendly

It seems not many locals know that the Flamingo has real Flamingos! This should be promote more to the community. I had relatives visiting and was looking for family friendly inexpensive things to do and found the habitat on a tourist attraction list. The habitat was a beautiful experience. It was so peaceful. My family loved the walking path and we really enjoyed taking pictures.

The habitat is a lil place with wildlife that is uniquely situated in The Flamingo. It's something you pass through on the way to the pool, and is picture perfect for selfies. It also has a hidden chapel where private outdoor weddings can take place. It can get crowded at times, but mornings are the best time.

Free entry, a nice side attraction from the usual fast paced strip. The facility seemed well kept, animals appear content and there was a nice variety of wildlife to check out. Turtles, Koi, (Obviously) Flamingo and some native species of bird. Quick and fun!
