1111 Parrot Jungle Trail, Miami, FL 33132 · Miami, FL

Why you should go…

This lushly planted wildlife park on Watson Island sits midway between downtown Miami and South Beach, tracing its roots to 1936's famed Parrot Jungle. Daily educational shows bring out sloths, wallabies, and brilliantly colored macaws, while kids scramble through Treewalk Village's elevated nets and playgrounds. An Everglades habitat spotlights native Florida species, and shaded jungle paths make the heat manageable. Open daily 9:30am–5pm, it is an easy half-day stop with Biscayne Bay skyline views on the drive in.
