Way too expensive for what you get. This mini-attraction between downtown Miami and Miami Beach requires taking out a bank loan for a few hours of family "fun." Stay away. Save your money for Disney World.

Get up close with all types of wildlife, from birds to tigers and lions. Very interactive as there are locations you are roaming free with birds, lizards, and other wild life. I felt bad for the animals as they were in small cages and I think it is privately owned so they dont have the same rules and regulations normal... More

This place is amazing! I would definitely recommend taking the VIP tour they offer. The VIP tour was amazing and truly a once in a life time experience. The tour guide is great! This is definitely not your average zoo. It is unique and fun for all ages.

Just went with my 10 year old and have a pleasant stress free day, moving from show to show, and enjoying all the birds. Also enjoyed taking so many photos with the animals!

Hard to find an attraction that 6 family members enjoy....but this place did it! They enjoyed the parrot/bird show, the different exhibits (ligers, lemurs, baboons, petting area) and had a blast. The dining room / cafeteria was also one of the best ones we've seen at an attraction like this. The $$ was worth it, and the BBQ was great.

I had a dinner there after a conference. We had a good time there, with very nice scenes, with some nice animals, the penguins with nice colors. The best thing there is the Liger, very big nice animals with the combination of a lion and a tiger. We had also very nice dinner. They cook well, so you can go... More

This is my first time in Jungle Island, is a small area and I love it. is organize. Have a great exhibitions of parrots, monkeys and other exotic animals. If you have Lil Kids they enjoy a lot and do not feel tired if you go to the zoo. Excellent to introduce the kiddos in the animal kingdom.
