Note: Google Map location is off, museum is located next to Belize Central Bank 400' further north along street. Great small museum within walking distance from cruise dock. Slavery display was enlightening supplement to my USA perspective - 400 years, whole country one big set of plantations harvesting wood, escaped slave towns, social hierarchy. Also Mayan display with artifact, local art display and insect collection. And nice clean restrooms! Small ($7) admission fee.

This is a wonderful museum full of variety of historical items, a gallery of paintings, and a collection birds and bugs. There is something for everyone.. and the children's room on the top floor is perfect for a 2 year old while parents take turns reading. There is WiFi at this museum and they also accept payment by Visa or MasterCard.

(Translated by Google) A small museum in a former prison building, containing Mayan artifacts (few and not particularly impressive) and pictures and information panels about slavery (very moving and, although well-known, still shocking to see how people were transported and traded like chickens today). The museum is certainly not a must-see, but perhaps the only real highlight in Belize City. (Original) Kleines Museum im Gebäude eines ehemaligen Gefängisses mit Maya-Artefakten (wenig und nicht umwerfend) und Bildern und Informationstafeln zur Sklaverei (sehr bewegend und obwohl bekannt doch immer wieder schockierend, wie Menschen so wie heute die Hühner transportiert und gehandelt wurden..). Ein unbedingtes Muss ist das Museum sicher nicht, aber vielleicht das einzige wirkliche Highlight in Belize City.

(Translated by Google) It's a very small museum, but it's lovely and allows you to learn about the country's history. The receptionists are very friendly and will try to speak to you in Spanish if English isn't your first language. (Original) Es un museo muy pequeño, pero es lindo, te permite conocer la historia del país. Las recepcionistas muy amables e intentan hablarte en español si el inglés no es tu primera lengua.

This church was a stop on our city tour and there was a deacon on scene that provided us with the history of the church and how they are currently active in the community helping those in need. This church building is over 200 years old and is still serving the community with several services a week.

What a beautiful church! It's small but the history of the church is amazing and the age of the church wow! It's like stepping into a time machine.

I attended my high-school math teacher's funeral service. It was a good turned out.

Beautiful historic church, over 200 years old. Hand built, many pieces still from the original builders. Almost daily services and daily tours.

Excellent historical church. Couldn't work out if the locals liked or disliked us Brits!😀

This is a historical landmark that is over 200 years old. It is the first Church built in Belize I believe (although it is a cathedral), and I enjoy it as a place of worship as an Anglican. The times for mass are posted in front of the structure itself, and a picture of this tablet with times is on their Facebook page.

What a beautiful historical place.

Greta little spot next to the water. The Belize sign is right next to the lighthouse, so it's a 2 for one visit. GARY a local was walking around and was a great add. Shops next to the lighthouse to grab a great snack or spot to relax.

Beautiful warm walk. Seen people from the cruise just jump in the water by the tower. Lol I love this area. The Treehouse Hotel/restaurant was the best

Well, a lighthouse. Located in a pretty nice district. Many locals here, but it's safe, many police officers here. It's obviously near the port. A lot of cafes nearby. Great for pictures, you can call it a landmark for sure. Nice view on the sea!

It’s a fairly basic but historical landmark. There’s not much surrounding it and it’s a shame there’s no signage to explain the history or significance either (so read up beforehand), but it’s worth checking out, even if only to admire the wonderful unobstructed views of the ocean.

Interesting from the standpoint of it's the only lighthouse at Belize City. Very different from a lot of the lighthouses you see of the east coast of the United States. Very nice of you looking out into the Caribbean Sea.

Right next to the lighthouse you can sit and witness pretty sunsets.

A very interesting site to visit in Belize City. Lighthouses are situated in strategic points and this one is not an exception. From the lighthouse you can appreciate a wonderful and special view of the city. If you are in Radisson or in the Ramada hotel, it’s a short walk enjoying the wind and the sea.

This place was amazing! I had never been before and this was a first. They have a huge water playscape in the 8ft deep pool, a giant water slide, sand volleyball, live music, a swing to jump off into the water and photo opportunities. I can't wait to come back here and visit again!

We had a great time here when we were on our cruise. Food was delicious and the fun water park on the beach was amazing! We have teenagers and they enjoyed it all. They have a food shack and a bar on the beach. Pricing was very fair.

Beautiful place. So much fun. Decent food. Good drinks. Bring a life jacket if you can’t swim

Not that bad. They’ve got sand (which was really just a weird muddy sand combination) and lots of mosquitoes, so come with your bug spray. As for the food, there is some sort of variety. It’s actually pretty good, but the prices for both food and drink are marked up (which is expected since no outside foods are allowed). Be sure ti bring your own water, because if you don’t then expect to buy a bottle of water that normally costs $1.50 for $4.00. Overall cute place, just not my personal favorite.

A quick stop at the Old Belize Museum after lunch and I was glad that I made the visit. An excellent overview of life in Belize from the Mayans to early colonial days. From logging to fishing, the Garufina and early commerce you can see Belize in a nutshell. Stopped by the giftshop and found the t-shirt I wanted: You better Belize it!!!!

There was a lot to see in Belize. Our tour guide, Dylan, was really void, helpful, and informative. The place is rich in history.

A great place to spend the day with family. The restrooms are clean. They offer a variety of food and beverage options. The DJ took requests and spun some good tracks. The water was perfect and the place wasn't crowded so this allowed us to go on the slide and obstacles multiple times.

It’s hard to rate a place that isn’t open when it says it’s supposed to be. It was recommended by an artist we know but it was closed. Wast of time coming to this place.

This museum used to be the home of the governor. We took a tour of the inside to see the architecture and artwork; walked around the grounds before we left. Tour guide was quite knowledgeable.

First time I've been to Government House since the renovation and renamed House of Culture for the Brukdown Bram event last night! I love the permanent stage that was built in the yard by the sea. The space had potential to host major concerts like the recent International Food and Music Festival.

Very nice place to host a small event. It's seafront location allows for a very cool ambiance.

When were there in 2016 when we took the freedom Cruise you are not able to go in but enjoy the breeze in the back. We also did a true of the orphanage which part of proceeds went to it.

Under renovation but should become one of downtown's best place to visit starting in 2018.

Nice colonial style building once used to host high level Great Britain 🇬🇧 government officials

We visited Bird’s Isle on the recommendation of the manager of our hotel. It was a mixed bag experience…. The food was delicious, we had the shrimp ceviche, lobster tail and grilled red snapper. The entrees were served with side of red beans and rice, side salad, scrambled eggs and French fries. The ceviche was on point. It took a bit of time to arrive, but was super fresh, obviously made to order! Perhaps a bit light on the shrimp, but great flavor. The chips were what we usually get in the area, which to us always seem a bit stale. The entrees of lobster and red snapper were both very good. Decent sized lobster and red snapper for the area. All sides were good, the fries were served piping hot (perfect) and no hint of a fryer used for different foods (the fried fish must have its own fryer! The ranch dressing and tartar sauce seemed homemade, and were both good. The drink menu is CRAZY, in a good way. One-half of the entire menu! Something for everyone included. Beer, wine, frozen drink, speciality cocktails, etc. We tried the Bahama Mama and the Yellow Bird. Served in huge glasses, potent, and sweet… very sweet, lots of fruit juices used. The bad stuff… service was slow. And the place was pretty empty. A lot of the physical premises is in need of repair. We ordered a can of sparkling water, and the top of the can was filthy. That’s a Belizean thing, like when they serve beers wrapped with napkins wrapped around the top, it’s to clean the top before drinking. The top of the bottle of hot sauce on the table was disgusting, obviously not cleaned in some time. Excess hot sauce and crust all over the top and lid. Finally, expensive for what you get. An OK experience, but we probably won’t go back, lots of other restaurants in the area.

Very nice restaurant , well hidden! Love the ceviche. Jazmin was very attentive and kind!

Best music since I have been in Belize, non stop good vibes. The service was fast and excellent. The lobster was tasty. The beans were very flavorful. I had garlic butter dipping sauce. I did not want to leave. Such a lovely place.

Honestly, it's one of the best restaurants in Belize! I have dined here 4 times already since I've been here almost every day. Variety of dishes to try from. Fresh juices and very friendly staff. Definitely try the pork dishes, the flavors are out of this world, with perfect seasoning and portions. Aside from the food and service, the views and the atmosphere are second to none, especially when you want to relax by the beach and enjoy your meal!

The fried chicken was hot and flavorful.. The water views were perfect.

This restaurant came highly recommended by our shuttle driver and locals we spoke to. I originally found it mentioned in a blog when researching the island and decided to go there on our first day. Despite closing soon after we arrived, the staff was gracious enough to let us sit and order whatever we wanted and let us take our time. We ordered the fish fingers and the shrimp. I cannot recommend the fish fingers enough! It was some of the best food we had the entire week. Pictures below for portion sizes and reference!

The spot was recommended by a local cab driver. The food was not bad at all. Some items were better than others and some ppl have different opinion. I enjoyed my lobster with the cooked veggies and onions. I was able to taste the fish which i thought was good as well. The mash potatoe was average nothing sp3cial. Seems like everyone in Belize cooks Shrimp really well and this spot was no exception. The beer was Warm! Didnt like that. They ran out of rice and beans which really made our combos just weird I do recommend going food wasnt bad and priced decent.

The Wet Lizard is in the Port of Belize City, closer to terminal 4. They use a great them going and have some great deals on the local beer ($3 a bottle). Ceviche is FABULOUS and was fresh, sweet, and delicious. Great spot to hangout before heading back to your ship. Service was not great, that was my only issue with the place.

I stopped in for a couple of beers and bought a t shirt. Nice folks, cute place, lots of people eating, but I didn’t, not ready for food. Nice cold local beer, nice experience.

This was our favorite food on our vacation, it was so delicious!! Our waitress was sweet, helpful, and made great drinks. We hope to visit again one day. Thank you Wet Lizard!

Stopped at the Wet Lizard after our excursions and before returning to our ship. First time in this port and it is so.cute and lively with a fun vibe. We wanted a quick local snack and ordered Belikin, the local beer, conch ceviche, jerk pork tacos and rice and beans. The servers were nice and friendly. Its open air right in the midst of the terminals in port. The beers were ice cold. The conch ceviche small.portion was massive. Fresh and flavorful and served with fresh authentic tortilla chips and loaded with conch. The jerk pork tacos were excellent. Tender flavorful pork with a nice sauce and served with a side of chips and Pico. My husband really liked the beans and rice. They were my least favorite item though really not bad. We enjoyed sitting at the bar on the water in the open air with lively music playing. Prices seemed reasonable as well. Perfect end to our day in Belize City!

I was really looking forward to trying the whole fried snapper that everyone talks about, but this visit was a major letdown. Our server told us that anything we ordered would take about 30 minutes — which was fine — but after waiting, my friends’ food came out and I was told they had no more snapper left, except for the one they gave to someone else at my table. It was frustrating to wait that long just to find out they were out of what I ordered, especially since no one came to tell me sooner so I could choose something else. The food my friends received looked decent, but the service and communication were really poor. If you’re visiting, double-check availability before you order — especially for the snapper.

My second visit to Belize and the wet lizard 🦎 is the place to enjoy great food and drinks 🍹! I’m most definitely coming back!

Decent food with a large drink selection. Service was a bit slow but not terrible. Respectable option for a tourist trap. We tried the Belizean sampler, tostones, fish and chips, beef burrito, and fried fish tacos along with a bucket of local beer and Piña coladas. Drinks were good and food was fun to try. Not a bad option. The fried fish tacos were the winner.

The best Indian restaurant that I have ever been too. The food was the right temperature, spice level, and freshness. It was enough food for at least 3 total meals. I had a good mixed drink as well with coconut rum.

I visited this restaurant after reading several reviews. That had set a very hope for us. As someone from the Indian subcontinent, I was quite excited to try an Indian restaurant. Unfortunately, the food did not come close to authentic Indian cuisine. Belizeans might find it good—perhaps because they haven’t had the chance to try real Indian food in India.

My food way very good We enjoyed our dinner there Shrimp biryani was delicious We had samosa, curry and fish fingers and everything was tasty

If You’re looking for a really great Indian restaurant in Belize City this is it the food was amazing. Family run restaurant and you could taste it in the food the staff was great I highly recommend it if you’re looking for something a little different in Belize City don’t miss out

Great vegetarian options and very generous portion sizes. Easy 14 min walk from our accommodations.

Very good and authentic Indian food. The service is terrible. I believe it is a family business and some members are not interested in working in the restaurant.

No A/C, no music. Ambiance was good and place very clean. Ordered Butter Chicken. Have had before, and should be orange and nice and creamy with a hint of sweetness. This was dark red and way to spicy!

I was disappointed with Tavern during a recent lunch outing with my family. We actually found a nail in my niece's food. While they did apologize and offered to replace her Fettuccine pasta with a pizza, they charged us for the pizza. I believe it should have been free given the inconvenience caused. When I lived in Belize, we used to frequent Tavern. I'm not sure what has changed, but it just felt different this time. Personally, I don’t see myself returning anytime soon. Seriously, do better, Tavern. On a positive note, the server was amazing, and I won’t fault everyone for this unfortunate experience. However, I do think they could have handled the situation better.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming, upon entering we was quickly greeted by staff and our orders taken promptly. The food was of excellent taste and speedy service, the venue it’s self has a nice vibe and looks similar to that of a European pub which was very suiting to the menu selection of food and drinks. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to those visiting Belize City for a relaxing drink and grab to eat!

The food is excellent and the staff is legitimately interested in making your experience unforgettable. Since you arrive until the moment you leave the restaurant, you receive attention and sincere smiles. The prices are good. My tip: the “King Kong” burger is for sharing!

Excellent service and atmosphere. The food is very good, great quality of meat. I really recommend it. My favorite are the Blueberrie Mojitos

The food and drinks were awesome. Enjoyed the staff who were friendly and courteous. Wonderful establishment. Tavern in Belize City good spot to chill and relax.

Excellent Ambience and Great Customer Service. Food and drinks amazing ❤️❤️ Definitely Recommended.

Terrible terrible. My co- workers and I went here for lunch and it was our first time. We went in and sat down and the table was filthy. We waited for like 20 minutes and no one came to give even give us a menu. We had to dodge the waitress and ask her to please serve us. She came over and apologized for the delay and explained that there were only 2 of them working. We ĺater placed our orders. After that they brought out our beverages and told us the food won't be long. I am not kidding you all, we straight up waited 1hr 20minutes to get our food. Thank heavens the food was delicious but 1hr 20minutes for a plate of food, hell no. It was time to pay. They still had the heart to service charge us for such terrible service. But yea that's my 2cents. I 💯 do not recommend The Tavern to dine in.

STAY AWAY.............. you've been warned. Alex and Eli are great, however the food is PHENOMENAL. The ONLY place we ate at more than once in a week. I want to take the chef home with us. The girls at the bar are kind and even let me take the cigar lighter back and use while I stay here.

My brother and I had a fantastic dinner here when we were in town. The staff were friendly, helpful, and engaging. The food was excellent, with a nice presentation. We ate in the bar, which was quiet and cool. Perfect after a hot Caribbean day.

This place was so pretty and good. I ordered the beef curry and it did not disappoint. The chocolate cake was good as well but would have been better without the fruit filling. Definitely recommend this place if you come to the city.

Fantastic restaurant! I visited for lunch one weekend and it was practically empty to begin with but still managed to have a nice atmosphere with the music. The staff were all amazing and really welcoming and this didn’t change once it started getting busier. The menu is large with plenty of variety and the same is true for the drinks and cocktails. I opted for the burger which was served in good time. The bun was perhaps too big for the size of the patty but it was cooked well and very tasty. The portion of fries was a good size and the coleslaw was the creamiest and best I’ve ever tasted! There’s a number of TVs throughout the restaurant and the seating at the bar is nice if you’re only wanting a drink. I’d have returned if I’d have been in the city longer and it’s a great place especially if you’re celebrating an event.

Very mediocre food. Large menu selection. Service was good, but do yourself a favor and go somewhere more local.

Man, this place was great! I walked here from the water ferry terminal just to find somewhere to eat on a Sunday and it wasn't far away. One of the terminal workers suggested the location. I went inside and was immediately met with service. Everyone was pleasant including my waiter (I didn't get his name). The food was nice, hot and tasty! This is a can't miss spot! Come eat here!

Paid $60 for what was supposed to be an 18oz steak, med rare. What a misSteak! Lets just say the pictures are very misleading. $54 for the smallest piece of fish I've ever seen. Then another ridiculous price for salty seafood soup. The service was great. But the owner needs to stop ripping people off. I'd be embarrassed for a tourist to eat there. A shame because the building is beautiful, and like I said, the service is good. We spent over $600 on some really bad cuisine. Very, very disappointed. I wouldn't recommend this place and I'm noticing more and more over priced, poor quality food being served in more and more restaurants. Short cuts due to a very poorly run country. It'll only get worse.
