MIAMI METROZOO
Miami MetroZoo has been voted the Zagat Survey® "Top-
Rated Attraction in Miami" by travelers who have
experienced traveling with children. In addition to receiving
the highest overall score of Miami attractions, Miami
Metrozoo was also rated for child appeal, adult appeal,
public facilities and service.
Zagat Survey U.S. Family Travel Guide states:
“Your kids won’t want to leave” Miami’s top-rated attraction -
a “huge array” of animals and exhibits, from the rare white
tigers and Aviary Wings of Asia (with fossil digs) to the
“awesome” children’s zoo where toddlers pet Vietnamese
pot-bellied pigs and Polish hens; tykes can ride the Wildlife
Conservation Carousel and observe hissing cockroaches
and bearded dragons, while air-conditioned monorails and
a sprinkler system help beat the heat - no wonder it also
garners the highest Child Appeal score in the city; even
though it’s about 22 miles southwest of Downtown Miami, “it’
s worth the trip.”
Miami Metrozoo is open 365 days of the year.
