Plenty to see and do at Jungle Island

Jungle Island, formerly known as the Parrot Jungle, gives people an opportunity to see and interact with rare wildlife from all over the world. What makes up the "Jungle" are more than 3,000 exotic animals and 500 species of plants. At Jungle Island, hundreds of Flamingos can be found spread across a lake. Flamingos were filmed at the original Parrot Jungle for the opening theme of the television show Miami Vice.

Visitors can enjoy a world famous bird show "Winged Wonders" in the Parrot Bowl. In this show, a cockatoo shows off by riding his bicycle on a high wire. "Reptiles of the Jungle" can be seen in the Serpentarium and "Tales of the Tiger" can be seen in the Jungle Theater, an open-aired arena.

A great feature for kids, especially during the summer, is the Hippo Slide. This water slide is 3 stores tall and has a 40 degree drop!

Jungle Island is located off the MacArthur Causeway (A1A) between Downtown Miami and Miami Beach.
