*Listing from Museum Day 2011*
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, feed Australian parrots and meet the Zoo Squad mascots Kaz, Gigi and Pio.
The Wacky Barn is a non-traditional, colorful barn located inside the Children's Zoo. Guests can feed goats, pet pot-bellied pigs and see many other farm animals including ponies, miniature horses and sheep.
Participation in Museum Day is open to any tax-exempt or governmental museum or cultural venue on a voluntary basis. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of the participating museums and cultural venues, and does not subsidize museums that participate.
