Jungle Island

Jungle Island is a zoological theme park located on an island near Miami that combines animal exhibits with recreational activities. The grounds feature various animal enclosures, bird and reptile displays, aerial obstacle courses, and water play areas spread across the landscaped terrain.

The park was originally founded in 1936 and operated under a different name for many decades. In 2003, it relocated to a new island location and was rebranded with its current name a few years later.

Daily bird shows demonstrate the intelligence and abilities of the animals, with handlers sharing information about their behavior and characteristics. Visitors can observe these performances and get a sense of how trainers interact with the creatures throughout the day.

The facility is open several days per week during morning and early afternoon hours. Various ways to interact with animals are available, ranging from casual viewing to hands-on encounters that visitors can choose based on their interests.

The facility houses a substantial collection of parrot species that has been gathered over many decades. This assembly of birds represents one of the most varied of its kind in the region and draws enthusiasts from across the area.
