Step into the wild for a day at Zoo Miami
Turn your Jungle Book fantasies into reality at Zoo Miami, Florida! This sprawling wildlife enclosure stretches across 340 lush acres, offering a haven for over 500 animal species from far-flung corners of the Earth. Get ready to be blown away by over 3000 animals roaming freely at the zoo – jaguars, lions, tigers, and even giraffes, all just a few meters away from you! The zoo hosts penguins, meerkats, majestic bald eagles, otters, and other creatures from the habitats of Africa, Asia, the Amazon, and Australia.
Check out animals from habitats around the globe
Zoo Miami hosts interactive experiences like feeding the giraffes at the Samburu Feeding Station during sessions throughout the day. Don't miss the fascinating Galapagos Tortoises, and Goliath, the zoo's oldest resident tipping the scales at a whopping 500 pounds! Lush rainforests with playful monkeys and jaguars slithering through the undergrowth will leave you feeling like you’re in a real-life documentary. Hundreds of birds zooming through the air at the Wings of Asia Aviary is a sight you cannot miss. At the Florida exhibit, you’ll see reptilian creatures like alligators, crocodiles, and other native animals of Florida, and also catch the mighty anaconda and other rainforest animals at the Amazon and Beyond exhibit.
You can explore Zoo Miami on foot or rent a fun Surrey bike for a relaxed experience. If you wish to upgrade your experience, opt for a lunch basket and get 10% discounts on souvenirs at the gift shop.
