Giraffe feeding: Walk up a wooden platform and come face-to-face with these amazing animals as they wrap their 18-inch tongue around the food you have in your hand. It's a feeling that doesn't come too often in one's lifetime.

Description

Zoo Miami is the ideal place for an individual, a couple, or an entire family to spend a day. As a matter of fact, visitors can travel the world in one day! They will visit Africa, Asia, the Amazon, and Australia. Zoo Miami consists of 340 developed acres with more than 3,000 animals and over 1,200 plants and trees which are planted in such a way as to mimic the animals’ natural habitats.

Guests will be able to have animal encounters; meet the keepers during scheduled Meet the Zookeeper talks throughout the day; and much more. They will enjoy jaguars, lions, tigers, orangutans, elephants, the Wings of Asia Aviary (the largest Asian-themed aviary in the western hemisphere with hundreds of free-flying birds), gorillas, chimps, koalas, kangaroos, frogs, snakes, meerkats, and more animals than we could ever list.

At Amazon and Beyond, experience a rainforest, jaguars, anacondas, bats, venomous snakes (behind glass exhibits, of course), rare frogs, harpy eagles, and a 48,000-gallon aquarium. And our Playworld Playground is a great place for kids to burn off some of that excess energy. Half jungle, half water park, they can stay dry or wet. Zoo Miami has food and drink concession stands throughout and a beautiful gift shop where you can buy that special memento that will bring back wonderful memories of Zoo Miami!

"Is more than a botanical garden than a zoo."
TripAdvisor user rating 3.0 out of 5
Reviewed December 09, 2024 NEW
It's a lot of walking. We spend 5 hours just straight up walking. A lot of the animals are far from each other so it's more nature to see than the actual animals themselves. A lot of enclosures were empty. So many animals were not on exhibit. Not sure, if they had removed animals and left the enclosures there or if the animals were hiding. They should just change their name to a botanical garden instead calling themselves a zoo. They also had a lot of extra things you can’t do unless you pay. On the upside there's plenty of parking. And bathrooms and water are available in a lot of areas throughout the zoo.

"An awesome experience That I want to repeat one day."
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed October 02, 2024
I saw lots of animals like the Cuban crocodile, giraffes, anacondas, frogs, sea turtles, and much more. It was an awesome experience that I would like to repeat again one day. Even though I had to walk a lot to get to see every single animal within the zoo, my family and I loved it so much that we want to be there again. The habitat of every animal is unique and is very well adapted for them to live in. The map that is supplied to you when you come into the zoo helps you to not get lost because it's a huge place. It's normal to not know where to go exactly when it's the first time you have been in there. Nevertheless, the map is located at every part of the zoo so you can use it as a reference of where exactly you are and where exactly to go. For those reasons and more, I love this place.
