Zoo Miami is the largest and oldest zoological garden in Florida and the only sub-tropical zoo in the continental United States. The unique South Florida climate allows the display of a wide variety of animals from Asia, Australia, and Africa, representing a broad mix of species that is unlike any other zoo in the country.
Guests can enjoy an air-conditioned monorail system with an aerial view that loops around the zoo’s premises, and can also enjoy a wide selection of dining and retail options throughout the zoo.
Space is limited and reservations are required by contacting Nathalie Garcia at garcian@miamilakes-fl.gov, or by calling 305-364-6100, ext. 1166. Reservations remain open until all seats are filled.
