Zoo Miami Ticket with Optional Upgrade

A visit to Zoo Miami offers families and animal lovers the chance to explore Florida’s largest and most diverse zoological park. Located just off Florida's Turnpike, this sprawling sub-tropical zoo gives guests access to expansive open-air habitats, showcasing animals from Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas. With over 2,000 animals representing more than 375 species, including many endangered creatures, the zoo makes for a memorable day out, especially for those with children eager to discover wildlife up close.

After entering the zoo with your admission ticket, you’ll find yourself surrounded by lush landscapes and a thoughtfully designed layout that encourages exploration. The journey begins with a walk past enclosures that bring you face-to-face with jaguars, lions, and tigers, as well as orangutans and elephants. The 'Wings of Asia Aviary' stands out as a highlight, hosting hundreds of free-flying birds in the largest Asian-themed aviary in the western hemisphere, where guests can wander among vibrant species in a tranquil environment.

Continue deeper into themed areas dedicated to specific ecosystems and continents. At 'Amazon and Beyond', immerse yourself in a tropical rainforest setting housing jaguars, anacondas, venomous snakes safely behind glass, unique frogs, and harpy eagles. This section also features a 48,000-gallon aquarium and a variety of other exotic animals, providing educational opportunities about conservation and the delicate balance of these environments. Other exhibits throughout the zoo include gorillas, chimpanzees, koalas, tree kangaroos, meerkats, and countless additional species, making it easy to fill your day with discovery.

As your visit winds down, you can revisit favorite habitats or enjoy the peaceful gardens and shaded paths that crisscross the zoo’s 750 acres. The layout makes it possible to move at your own pace, whether you want to focus on particular animals or see as much as possible. Before you leave, don’t miss the chance to observe some of the zoo’s rarest inhabitants or stop by the aviaries for a final look at the remarkable birdlife.
