Miami Metrozoo's Amazon & Beyond

Miami Metrozoo has hundreds of wild animals and attractions for all ages. There are a number of ways that you can get around the zoo; you can simply walk, take a guided tram tour or an air-conditioned monorail tour. You can also turn an ordinary visit to the zoo into an exciting adventure by renting a Safari Cycle. You can pull up right next to each exhibit and take photos of the zoo animals right from the cycle.

From Flamingos to Bengal Tigers to the Silverback Gorilla, there are so many fascinating animals for you to interact with. Who knows what type of mood they will be in when you are visiting. Sometimes the animals are very entertaining and sometimes they are sleeping. Everyday is a completely different experience; therefore you must visit more than once.

Camel rides are offered in the Children's zoo and keeper talks are held at the animals respective location throughout the day. For those of you who are techies, you can also download Miami Metrozoo's Podcast Tour to your ipod.

Miami Metrozoo is opening the 27-acre "Amazon & Beyond" exhibit which will feature new animals such as a giant river otter, a black howler monkey and two green anacondas.
