Looking for a great place to take the family? Spend the day with a variety of fascinating creatures at the Miami Monkey Jungle.
Ponderous Primates
Listen for the astounding howls of the howler monkey and peep their snazzy brown beards. See the mischievous black-capped Capuchins engage in their playful antics. Watch the brown-headed spider monkeys dangle from the trees.
The Wonders of the Rainforest
Enter the Amazonian Rainforest and discover plants, trees and intriguing swamp specimens. Look on as the zookeepers hand out tasty treats to eager squirrel monkeys.
Eons Ago
Journey back in time and examine fossils from long ago at Fossil Discovery. Some of the fossil findings here are over 10,000 years old! Perhaps the most popular items are the ferocious fangs of the saber-tooth tiger.
At the Aviary
Peruse a bounty of colorful birds in the aviary. This "free-fly" dome provides an open space for all the birds to flap and fly till their hearts content.
Hang with the Orangutans
Its always a giggle to watch the orangutans. If you're lucky enough to catch them during play time, they may be swinging and dangling from the branches. Throughout the day entertaining shows are held. You'd be amazed at how incredibly intelligent these creatures are!
