One of the world's great zoos is right here in Miami-Dade County. Metrozoo houses more than 700 wild animals in a cageless setting that closely approximates the animals' natural habitats and gives the visitor the feeling of embarking on an international safari.
Large, open-air exhibits allow visitors to enjoy beautiful and endangered wildlife at a safe yet remarkably close range. With nearly 300 developed acres on a 740-acre parcel of land, Metrozoo is the only zoo in the continental United States located in a subtropical climate. This enables the Zoo to showcase animals that cannot easily be exhibited in colder climates.
Metrozoo offers guided tram tours, walking tours, fascinating behind-the-scenes tours, an elevated air-conditioned monorail tour, Safari quadracycles, water cycles, state-of-the-art playgrounds and water play areas for children.
