Zoo Miami (Miami-Dade Zoological Park and Gardens)

Zoo Miami, also known as the Miami-Dade Zoological Park and Gardens, leverages its subtropical climate to create expansive, natural habitats for a diverse array of animals from Asia, Australia, and Africa. Spanning over 750 acres, the zoo is home to more than 200 species that roam in cageless exhibits, separated from visitors by carefully designed moats. This unique layout allows for a more immersive and authentic experience, where visitors can observe animals in settings that closely mimic their native environments. Today, guests can explore these open-air enclosures, offering a closer and more engaging encounter with wildlife.
