Miami Metro Zoo is one of my favorite places in Miami. There is so much to see and do here that you can't possibly get it all in in one day. That's one reason why we go back again and again without ever getting bored. We spend hours just looking at the dozens of animals on display, there are shows performed by the various animals and educational exhibits, too. The open air Asian aviary is spectacular, and the work stations in the Tropical American rainforest exhibit and the ToadStool exhibit are fun and educational. Be sure to wear comfy shoes because you'll walk miles in order to see everything at the zoo.

This is an excellent zoo. It is cageless and the animals roam in settings similar to their natural habitats. They are accredited by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association. Because the zoo is so vast, you are going to want to get there early and plan on spending a good part of the day there.

ride the monorail or take a tram tour (approx. $2)
be sure everyone has comfortable footwear, and that babies/ small kids are in strollers or a wagon.
bring lots of water, sunscreen and sunhats.
don't worry, there's lots of shady rest-stops, snack bars and vending machines in case you need to refuel
There's also a cool bike thingy that you can rent to ride around the zoo which might help get you through the zoo a little quicker.

This zoo has everything. It's awesome! You won't be disappointed.

PROS:
CONS: none
