Zoo Miami (also known as the Miami-Dade Zoological Park and Garden) is home to over 3,000 animals, including mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, and reptiles. The Florida: Mission Everglades habitat also allows visitors to explore a local ecosystem and see animals like the roseate spoonbill, the Florida panther, black bears, burrowing owls, gopher tortoises, bald eagles, crocodiles, alligators, and Florida box turtles.
For an overview of the park, hop on the monorail or join a narrated Zoo Miami tour via tram or golf cart. Then, learn about animal welfare and environmental conservation through hands-on activities at Zoo Miami’s Conservation Action Center (CAC) and Animal Fun Factory. Visitors can also feed the giraffes and rhinos through animal encounter experiences, and attend talks and presentations.
