Finding the Nature Zoo Once on Belle Isle:
Belle Isle Nature Zoo is located at the far end of Belle Isle just northwest of Blue Heron Lagoon. After crossing the bridge to Belle Isle, bear left at the "Welcome to Belle Isle" message board onto Central Avenue. Follow Central past the playscape. After proceeding through the woods, turn left onto Lakeside Drive (a one-way street). The Nature Zoo is on the left, across the street from the golf driving range.
