Zoo Miami

Travel the world in a day with an entertaining and educational tour of Zoo Miami, the only tropical wildlife park in the United States. In the space of a few hours, you will have visited the savannah of Africa, the rainforests of Asia, the Amazonian jungle, the Australian outback and, of course, the swamps of Florida to meet the more than 2,000 animals that call the zoo home. See orang-utans, flamingos, kangaroos, anacondas, bats, and much more.

At Zoo Miami, you can take part in animal encounters, ride a camel and meet the keepers during scheduled talks throughout the day. And if you need to take a break, there are four cafés and an excellent souvenir shop.

You also have the option to avail of the Interactive Safari Package, which includes admission, all-day monorail pass and one feeding of a giraffe or parrot. The monorail is a wonderful way to enjoy bird's-eye views of the animals.

The zoo has been laid out and planted with more than 1,200 plants and trees, designed to mimic the animal's natural habitats. There are sections and enclosures dedicated to species as well as daily shows at the Sami Amphitheater.

Start off at the African exhibits and see the crocodile feeding station; venture to Asia and see a Malaysian sun bear; head down under to the Australian area and see the New Guinea singing dogs or Komodo dragons and admire the awesome pink flamingos, one of Florida’s most visible symbols.
