Zoo Miami

Excellent experience at the Miami Zoo. We spent a full 5 hours there including break at the restaurant. The check-in is quick and we rented the family cart cycle 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 (a must-have if you have kids). The zoo is divided into different regions with animals specific to the regions. It is an excellent learning for the kids. The price is acceptable, although not the cheapest!

We came here shortly after the zoo opened. We went all over and enjoyed the Florida Everglades exhibit, as well as the Asia and Africa sections. The areas are well kept and you can see a number of animals. They also have a nice section for kids near the Oasis Grill. It includes a play area, a carousel, (which costs extra) and a barn where you can interact with certain animals. There is also a good playground near the front entrance that includes a small splash pad. There are plenty of food stands and restrooms throughout the zoo as well as water bottle refilled stations and some areas to cool down using the mist machines. The prices for food are what you would expect - but at least we enjoyed what we ate. We will look forward to coming back.

What a great experience! We went on New Years Eve weekend (which I was told increased guests levels significantly) and still had a great time. Highly recommend purchasing tickets before (they're super easy on the website, I was able to do it was I was walking up to the gate) and get there early to be able to rent a peddle bike or Animal Scooters. There is a ton of those so be prepared to be dealing with that all day. But the animals were great (tigers, bears, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, plus many different types of monkeys, snakes, birds, and turtles), cages looked clean, and there was clear viewing areas. Food took a bit as the workers were understaffed, but it did taste good. Bathrooms weren't large and could have lines, so be prepared. Overall, it was a great experience and would make the visit again! Parking is free as well.

Took my niece to the zoo and it was great =) Very important tip though: Rent the bike cart lol. She's only 4 but carrying her on my shoulders for half the zoo was rough~ Giraffe feeding was great, missed the tiger show but they came out to play later =) Some of the animals weren't there but I knew that could be a thing going in.

Got there around 12pm and was able to see everything, but I would recommend to get there when it opens. Parking was not a problem and the entrance with online tickets was a breeze. They have the option of offering family bikes to rent to get around the zoo or you can just walk around. There is a petting zoo, giraffe feeding area, and an aviary where the birds can be fed. Overall, it’s a great experience for all ages!

I had a fantastic time at this zoo! The variety of animals was impressive, and the habitats seemed spacious and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, offering interesting facts about the animals. I especially enjoyed the educational presentations and conservation efforts they showcased. Definitely a must-visit for families and animal lovers alike!

One of the highlights of my visit was the opportunity to see animals up close and personal during the zoo’s interactive experiences. From feeding giraffes to getting a behind-the-scenes look at animal care and conservation efforts, these encounters offered a unique and intimate glimpse into the lives of the zoo’s inhabitants.

The educational aspects of Zoo Miami were also impressive, with informative signage and interactive displays providing valuable insights into animal behavior, conservation issues, and the importance of biodiversity. It was clear that the zoo is dedicated not only to providing a fun and entertaining experience for visitors but also to promoting awareness and appreciation for the natural world.

this was a fantastic zoo with so many different areas to explore. We loved the splashpad and the areas with misting machines for a quick cool off. The animals were well taken care of and the zoo was super clean.

We visited on a Monday afternoon in December with a few hours to enjoy before we caught our flight. It was $118 for 5 people (over 12 y/o), but we discovered Groupon discounts after we paid 🤦. This is a really good zoo with many many interesting animals. The enclosures are appropriately sized for the animals and it's easy to view the animals from multiple areas. The animals appear to be well cared for and there was quite a lot of staff around. The place is quite large, so wear comfortable clothing and good walking shoes. Snacks and drinks can be pricey, but seemed on part with what I've been charged at similar attractions.
Side note: invasive species of lizards as well as native birds are running around everywhere and are a lot of fun to watch. They provide interest on the (sometimes) long walks between exhibits.

I loved the Miami zoo! It is huge. We spent 6 hours there and probably did 75% of the zoo. I loved all the tropical landscaping and plants throughout the zoo and the Amazon section with the giant fresh water fish and giant otters. I had never seen those before so they stood out a lot. Since the zoo is so big, they should definitely add shuttles or build a new tram because it takes so long to walk everywhere. But overall I liked it a lot and would go back.

Such a fun zoo for families! Would recommend a wagon, stroller, or renting a cycle as it’s a lot of walking. So many great animals to see and learn about that most zoos don’t have (at least not in MN). Staff was very friendly. Lots of lizards and iguanas roaming around as well which was cool to see. Highly recommend!

Had a great time at the Miami Zoo. Went on a rainy Sunday so there was hardly anyone there so we really enjoyed it. Tigers were out running around, as well as the monkeys and elephants. Got to feed the giraffes with zero line!

We had such a fun time. This was our second visit. We rented the 6 seater bike today which was a fun experience and helped us get around to see majority of things (the park closed early today for a special event) but on a regular day I could see you getting to see it all.
Despite a few of the exhibits being closed, a few being remodeled and some animals being gone, it was a good experience.

One of the best zoos in the country hands down. We have been to zoos in 15 states and this is easily top 2. Huge amount of space, amazing sightings for all animals and beautiful plant life everywhere. Highly recommend

Amazing Zoo! We had great time here with grandpas' and small girls.
Consider that it'd take around 30-40mins from airport area , maybe 50-60mins from downtown. but GO it worth it.
There are 2 riding options:
1. Electric animal looking - $0.5/minute -- I spent more than $60 but I didn't have to deal with girls complaints.
2. Car with pedals - $60

They're so many animals, everything in good condition and snacks

What a terrific place to take your kids and also just to go with your significant other. it has been neglected in a few ways since the early 2000s but I also see certain improvements in other areas as well. So I think that they're just transitioning. But I do miss the sand dinosaur area in Asia where the kids used to be able to dust off the sand from the bones. They don't have that anymore, which really sucks. other than that. It was a great place and we had a great time.

I love this place, specially walk through it. I don't like the food here, I understand there are too many people and the whole staff must be fast with orders, but is very important. Variety of animals and beautiful landscapes.

Great outdoor experience. Legit zoo with great animal exhibits. The park is very large. Consider getting the bicycle or animal scooter to see it all. There are lots of loose iguanas all over the property. There are alcholic drinks and plenty of shade, cooling zones and smoking areas too.

My toddler really enjoyed her time at this zoo. The ticket line was quick and affordable. This zoo is really huge with many animals to see. The cycles are so convenient and the boat rides are a great addition to the zoo as well. Would highly recommend to visit if you’re in Miami with children.

The Ultimate Adventure for the whole Family!

In sunny South Florida, there's a place like no other, where you can travel the world without leaving home! Zoo Miami is the biggest zoo in Florida, and it's as big as five football fields. It's not just a zoo; it's a wonderland of animals from all around the world.

What's super cool about Zoo Miami is that it's like a map of the Earth, and animals from each continent live together, just like they do in the wild! You can walk through jungles, savannas, and forests, and you'll see animals up close, safe and happy in their own special homes.

And the best part? Zoo Miami is like a club for animals that need our help. Over 100 animals here are like superheroes because they're in danger out in the wild. The zoo takes care of them and teaches us how we can help too!

From cool animal feedings to meeting amazing creatures, there's always something fun to do. Plus, when you visit, you become a guardian of the animals. It's like having your own zoo animal friend, and your visit helps take care of them.

Zoo Miami isn't just a place for fun; it's a place where we learn about animals, our planet, and how we can make a difference. It's where the adventure begins, right in our backyard!

So, grab your safari hat and come visit. It's time for a wild adventure at Zoo Miami!
