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.

Parrot feeding: Upon arrival, guests will be surrounded by the sounds of the birds chirping and singing in the aviary's peaceful environment encircled with a landscape inspired by the Australian Outback. The friendly birds will fly and perch on visitors' arms or hands (and sometimes heads) in order to nibble on the treats.

Camel ride: Ride atop one of our beautiful Dromedary camels in the Children's Zoo and experience the mode of transportation for many cultures throughout history.

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!
