About Zoo Miami

Explore a 750-acre subtropical oasis at Zoo Miami, where over 2,000 animals roam freely in open habitats. Explore themed exhibits like Mission Everglades with Florida panthers and crocs, or Amazon & Beyond featuring jaguars and anaconda and enjoy hands-on fun by feeding giraffes.

Did you know?

Zoo Miami is built on land that was once a World War II naval air station, adding a layer of history to its sprawling grounds.

The zoo originated in 1948 from a stranded circus's animals, including lions, an elephant, and a rhinoceros.

They achieved a groundbreaking conservation milestone by successfully hatching 71 Texas horned lizards in 2024, a threatened species being reintroduced into the wild.

Zoo Miami’s live Meerkat Cam streams these curious creatures' playful antics and digging behaviors 24/7. Enjoy a virtual glimpse into their lively social world from anywhere!

Why visit Zoo Miami?

Open habitats

Experience over 2,000 animals from 375 species thriving in open, cageless habitats. With 750 acres to explore, Zoo Miami offers a unique chance to see animals in environments designed to mimic their natural homes.

Themed zones from around the world

Travel the world through exhibits like Mission Everglades, where you can spot Florida panthers and crocodiles, or Amazon & Beyond, home to jaguars and giant river otters. Don’t miss the Wings of Asia Aviary, filled with colorful birds flying freely in a tropical paradise.

Interactive exhibits

Create unforgettable memories through hands-on activities. Feed a giraffe, stroll among kangaroos, or visit Critter Connections to get up-close and pet farm animals. Open aviaries also let you get up close to vibrant bird species in a truly immersive experience.

Perfect for families with kids

Zoo Miami is a haven for families, offering an array of activities that cater to kids and parents alike. Let your little ones cool off and have a blast at the splash pads in Playworld Playground, or rent a Safari Cycle to pedal through the scenic trails as a family. Kids will love the hands-on animal experiences at Critter Connections, where they can pet friendly farm animals, and the thrill of feeding giraffes.
