Metro Zoo is one of the largest Zoo's in Florida. We went there during the Summer in the month of May. It was very hot and humid around that time. You can rent a bicycle which is what we did to avoid walking all the time in the hot sun. The food stalls are scattered all around the place and you are never far away from food or water or restrooms. The zoo has some of the rare animals from Africa and Asia. The zoo is divided into 3 continents: Asia, Africa, Australia and these have all the enimals and birds specific to a particular continent. The zoo also has an amphitheatre where i watched the Wildlife Show which is fun. Its a great place to take your kids to. All in all a great place to go with family and friends.

This year we decided to have our first visit to the Miami Metro Zoo. Here in the zoo are almost no visible cages, barriers for the animal have been made in a more invisible way.
We also booked a trainride to have a narrated tour through and behind the scenes of the park. We had the luck to have a tour guide with a very good mood. I don't know if all of the tourguides are this great here but i know in other parks it can be different.
Besides the exhibits we also visited the Wild Life show. In this show we where told more about some of the animals in the zoo.
This is one of the more beautiful zoo's we have visited. It´s open year round, the zoo is large but rents strollers, wagon like bikes and wheelchairs.
Besides the paid tram ride you can also ride the free monorail to get from one place to another or just enjoy the view.
The zoo is about 20 miles from downtown Miami.

they also have a petting zoo for kids to interact with animals.
One thing that is just a little issue with me in the summer it gets very hot. ( They do have a lot of water spraying shower) so you could get refreshed.) if you get tired and hot just ride the monorail that takes you around the whole park . Believe me youll feel better.
make sure you bring comfortable shoes youll be walking a lot. Leave a Comment Address: miami , florida
