Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society
Miami’s Zoo is spread across 800 acres. This intimate has just 23, so it’s not an all-day excursion (budget 2 hours tops). That said, for animal fans (and small children) it does house more than 500 animals representing 100+ different species. The Tropics of the Americas exhibit showcases jaguars, bush dogs, Baird’s tapirs, and giant anteaters on a 3-acre re-creation of a Central and South American rain forest. An Everglades Center features the endangered Florida panther, among other animals. Other animal highlights include Malayan tiger, Florida panther, Queensland koala, Komodo dragon, black bear, river otter, and the Florida Reptile House. And if the tots get antsy, there’s a colorful wildlife carousel, an interactive water-play fountain, a full-service restaurant, and daily performances of the “Wings Over Water” bird show and the “Wild Things” stage show. The zoo also offers zoo keeper talks and animal training sessions.
