Hug the Baobab Tree in Queen’s Park

Living up to the reputation of the bulbous baobab in grand style, the colossal trunk of Barbados’ largest tree can be found (and hugged, at least if there’s a group of you) on the lawns of Queen’s Park in the heart of Bridgetown.
Considered by many to be the fattest tree in the entire Caribbean region, it takes around 15 adults to stretch around the full circumference of the central branch! A small sign offers information on the age and heritage of the mighty tree, while the surrounding gardens of the park host a Bandstand and the Queen’s Park art gallery.
