    I saw lots of animals like the Cuban crocodile, giraffes, anacondas, frogs, sea turtles, and much more. It was an awesome experience that I would like to repeat again one day. Even though I had to walk a lot to get to see every single animal within the zoo, my family and I loved it so much that we want to be there again. The habitat of every animal is unique and is very well adapted for them to live in. The map that is supplied to you when you come into the zoo helps you to not get lost because it's a huge place. It's normal to not know where to go exactly when it's the first time you have been in there. Nevertheless, the map is located at every part of the zoo so you can use it as a reference of where exactly you are and where exactly to go. For those reasons and more, I love this place.
    Thank you so much for your recommendation and review. We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed your visit. We would like to encourage you to please share your experience on Yelp to help spread the word. Hope to see you at Zoo Miami again soon!

    Loved the parking. Restrooms were always busy and when one stall is closed, it makes it even worse. You can do the basic stuff at the zoo for the admission but everything else costs. Not a fan of the safari cycles. Maybe because people are not smart, and constantly ran into me or over me. And no, not because I was in the immediate way. Loved that we could exit out to eat lunch and re-enter it after we were done.

    This review is rather late, but we went in January 2024 to the Miami Zoo and paid for the VIP Tour. It may be slightly pricey, but it was totally worth it in our opinion. We had very limited time due to getting off a cruise ship and heading to the airport. We met Paul our tour guide and he was so knowledgeable and welcoming. The golf cart ride saved our legs and we got to see more of the animals faster than if we had walked. It was great that the animals have the ‘public’ area to the front, but also have areas where they can’t be seen, so they have some ‘downtime’. Feeding the giraffes, seeing the elephants up close as well as a sleeping koala was a very special honour. Would definitely recommend the experience!

    One of the best zoos we have visited (and cleanest). The animals have a great amount of space to live in, they seem to be very well cared for and staff are helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. The best aviary we have ever seen. It is a huge zoo and you will be doing a lot of walking but they do have options such as ride ons if you want to see the zoo like that.

    It's a lot of walking. We spend 5 hours just straight up walking. A lot of the animals are far from each other so it's more nature to see than the actual animals themselves. A lot of enclosures were empty. So many animals were not on exhibit. Not sure, if they had removed animals and left the enclosures there or if the animals were hiding. They should just change their name to a botanical garden instead calling themselves a zoo. They also had a lot of extra things you can’t do unless you pay. On the upside there's plenty of parking. And bathrooms and water are available in a lot of areas throughout the zoo.
    Thank you for your feedback. Our goal is to provide the best experience for guests, so your comments are very important to us. As an AZA accredited zoo, we have very high standards in animal care, which means ensuring our facilities, guest areas and animal habitats are well maintained, staying updated and changing as needed to accommodate operational needs and/ or animal wellbeing. This could include a number of examples. For instance, some animals need to be off-habitat for some time to ensure they do not incur stress or discomfort due to nearby construction. Another example could be that after analyzing animal behaviors and their best quality of life, such as breeding purposes, some may be moved to another AZA accredited zoo (this is how Jiwa the orangutan came to Zoo Miami from Phoenix!). There are several new exciting additions and enhancements (for animals and humans!) coming to Zoo Miami in the coming months - you can visit our website at zoomiami.org/know-before-you-visit to view them all and plan for future visits. We hope you understand, and we can’t wait to welcome you again!

    What a zoo! This zoo is HUMONGOUS and has lots of great animals to see. Getting a bike taxi is highly recommended because if you walk it you won't be able to see as much. Some of the exhibits and attractions weren't running or didn't seem to be open (maybe they're waiting for summer?) but we were happy enough to ride our bikes around. For what it's worth, it isn't really spelled out anywhere how many people can fit in one bike taxi. There's room for a child to sit in the middle between two adults (in addition to the front seats). This would have saved us some money had we known, as we rented two instead of one. Get there early so you can park towards the front.

    I went to the Miami Zoo for my daughter (3 years old) to interact with animal life, very cool for learning and knowledge for her about every detail of the animals they own inside the Zoo. Congratulations to the staff of the dinchonetes, who were patient and friendly! Thank you very much. Summary: I would return with praise...

    Wow! Zoo Miami exceeded my expectations over and over. We easily spent 5 hours strolling and admiring. We saw the tiger, elephants, chimps, girillas, lions, otters and so much more. I was enthralled by the trees and plants all through the zoo. I saw a Rainbow Eucalyptus, Poinciana and scores of others. Hydration stations to fill your water bottle are nicely spaced so you can stay hydrated. We also had Pina Colada Icees to help cool down. Almost all of the animals were not only visible, but active as well. TIP: Check out the flamingo mud nests. You will see some sitting on them at the entrance..

    Excellent Experience. We loved all the squirrels during the way. Was amazing to feed the giraffe and see the elephants. The final part with the slide where the crocodile can swim above you was amazing. Our fourth time and we still coming back. I love to have the bikes, the draft beers, and all stops with snacks

    Great family fun day. Tickets were OK price wise. However, lots of additional costs. Would recommend hiring a pedal bike/ taxi to see everything. This was also a fun experience. Aminal feeding was also a big hit. Lots of animals to see but a big number of empty enclosures too. Very early closing time given the cost. Some employees in the gift shop were a little clueless
