Zoo Miami

"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."

"The part closest to the entrance and Amazon quarter is very nice and worth seeing. However zoo was too large. It was difficult to walk through it all, and many animals were not present in the enclosures. While entry prices are good, cost of renting bikes or strollers is ridiculous. I was expecting a better planed zoo."

"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!"

"These are some old pictures but Zoo Miami is one of my favorite zoos. Current admission is $23 for an adult. I loved the animal activities like feeding giraffes, camels (at one time), and the one horned rhino. It looks like they added a few new ones. Unfortunately, I’ll have to take off half a star because all of the feedings used to be pretty cheap like less than $20 for sure. Now, it seems like they jacked up the prices. Zoo was a good size, you could spend a few or more hours here. There were a large variety of diverse animals and some that I’ve never seen at other zoos. Employees were pleasant. Zoo was clean and well kept."

"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."
