Zoo Miami houses more than 2,000 wild animals in a cageless setting that gives the visitor the feeling of embarking on a safari. Guests can remain cool throughout various water play areas, hand feed giraffes, ride camels, encounter Indian rhinos, and meet Nickelodeon’s favorite animal rescuer, Diego.

Exhibits

Amazon & Beyond, a 27-acre tropical American exhibit, opened at Zoo Miami in December of 2008. This exhibit features more than 100 species of animals like giant river otters, jaguars, harpy eagles and anacondas. It houses more than 600 individuals from central and South America’s Cloud Forest, Amazon Forest and Atlantic Forest.
