Spanning nearly 750 acres, Zoo Miami is the largest zoological park in Florida and the only subtropical zoo in the continental United States. The park houses over 3,000 animals across open-air exhibits designed to mimic their natural habitats. Visitors can stroll along lush walking paths, enjoy interactive animal feedings, and explore sprawling gardens.

History

Founded in 1980, Zoo Miami is the only tropical zoo in the continental United States. It has undergone significant expansions and renovations over the years to enhance the visitor experience and improve animal habitats.

Quick tip: Rent a safari cycle or utilize shaded transportation options, as navigating the expansive 750-acre grounds involves extensive walking outdoors.

Expert notes

Wear comfortable walking shoes as the zoo is quite large.
Bring sunscreen and stay hydrated, especially during hot days.
Check the schedule for animal feeding times and educational talks.
