Nestled in the heart of Miami, Jungle Island is an enchanting escape that combines nature, adventure, and fun for the entire family. With lush tropical landscapes, exotic animals, and exciting activities, this iconic destination offers an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.

Trust me when I say that during a current visit with my educator friends and their kiddos, it was a fun experience where we got to play with bunnies, explore the grounds, watch a wildlife show and spent a memorable day that is as unforgettable as it is exciting.

Stroll through vibrant pathways as you encounter rare wildlife like lemurs, parrots, and kangaroos. Jungle Island is home to an impressive array of animals and interactive exhibits, where kids and adults alike can get up close and personal with some of the world’s most fascinating creatures. Don't miss the opportunity to feed a giraffe or hold a colorful macaw.

For us, the bunny encounter was pure joy! We had a chance to kneel down and feed the cute animals, as well as to learn more about their background and history at Jungle Island.

For thrill-seekers, the park boasts exciting zipline courses and an aerial adventure park that will get your adrenaline pumping. Younger adventurers can enjoy a splash at the on-site water park, perfect for cooling off under the Miami sun.

This spring and summer, Jungle Island is hosting an array of family-friendly events. In April, the park’s “Eggstravaganza” will feature an Easter egg hunt, live music, and arts and crafts. Summer visitors can look forward to the “Jungle Nights Summer Festival,” starting in June, where live performances, food trucks, and after-hours wildlife tours bring the park to life in the evenings.

Whether you’re a Miami local or visiting for the first time, Jungle Island provides a magical escape that blends fun and education. With so much to explore, it’s no wonder this vibrant attraction has been a beloved destination for generations.

And it’s one that is not to be missed, for it offers something from everyone throughout the year in South Florida for lovers of nature, animals and exclusive activities that offer a little bit of everything for everyone.
