Jungle IslandThe wild side of Miami

Very near Miami Children’s Museum, you will find this fascinating zoo, which imitates a tropical jungle and is home to hundreds of fish, reptiles, birds and exotic mammals. While any day is perfect for enjoying the company of these creatures, the zoo is a particularly good choice on hotter days because the tropical plants go some way to mitigating the heat. Its animal shows are its biggest attraction.
