Check out the new avian encounter where you can feed small parrots. Plan to spend some time so that you don't miss all the zoo has to offer. A tram takes you around the park and helps get you through to all the areas you won't want to miss. Check out the Birds of Asia aviary and feed a giraffe!

Really is a very nice zoo. Clean and full of friendly staff members. If you like animals, don't miss this zoo while in Miami.

Being a zoologist, who has visited and worked countless rare and exotic animals, and having seen many fine zoological parks across the USA and beyond, it takes a lot for me to say one zoo stands out as exceptional, but that is the case with Zoo Miami. While many zoos exhibit a wide variety of animals in small enclosures that... More

I know what you are thinking, i've been to so many Zoo's I could throw up! Well if you haven't been to the Miami Zoo then you are missing out. This is one of the largest Zoo's you'll see. It's spread out across a huge area just west of Miami. From Antelopes Zebras you'll see it all at this awesome... More

I grew up going to the Bronx Zoo so of course I would compare every zoo to it. They have the usual animals to see here. They have an air conditioned small building that shows a huge interesting dead snake which I believe was a pyton. Also beautiful blue/gray butterflies framed. Then there are bones of animals there as well.... More

Great zoo, lots of animals. We went in rig when they opened and the animals were all so active, plus it wasn't too hot. When its really hot , the animals tend to sleep more and are not so active. Definitely buy tickets online for a small discount.

It was such a great zoo. the price was great too. would definitely recommend to anyone. it was a lot to do in one day but we got there early so we had plenty of time. if you are going to go I recommend going early so you don't run out of time to see it all.

A great zoo, but there is no way to see everything in one day - if you are touring with a 3-1/2 year old. Buy a monorail pass, it's worth it just to get a break from walking. And it's air conditioned. My little guy actually took a nap in the monorail for about an hour - 2 full trips... More
