This was an outing for wife and mother for Mothers day. We arrived early as the gates opened and there was ample covered parking ($8.00). Entrance price was fair for this type of attraction and helped with a 20% online coupon. There was a reprieve from the heat with covered walkways, which in South Florida is always welcome. There is... More

Hi Weary Traveler, Thank you for visiting Jungle Island and for taking a moment to write a review about your experience. We appreciate that you gave us three stars! However we wanted to address why we missed that 4th star. All of the enclosures on Jungle Island (including the big cat and orangutan exhibits) not only meet but exceed the... More

We went on a fieldtrip and the staff could not be friendlier or helpful. Jungle Island has beautiful view of the bay and it is a little tricky getting there. However, this place is a little expensive for the displays and attractions.

I never had been a lot of diferent species of parrots into the park and in some of case the birds live free in the area. And It is nice that you can give something(seed) to eat to the animals.

We absolutely loved jungle island The park is the right size not too big not to small. Price $74 for 2 people, but steep for us but we'll worth it. The albino croc was very interesting, the liger, and the biggest bird I have ever seen right out Jurassic park, quite literally.

My wife and I and another couple visited Jungle Island and we used our "Go Miami" card for admission. Because we went on a week day in April there were no crowds and that made the intimate setting even more so. We watched both shows...the bird show was better than the animal show. We were there about three hours and... More

the animals, the birds, and the show "winged wonders" are all excellent ! worth the admission price . Have to visit atleast once. Go on a cool day so that you can see the animals in a better condition. Too hot and most of the animals will be sleeping or stuck in shady spots. it might be better to pack... More

It is really expensive I think if the price were more affordable, they would have more visitants. But It is nice, there are beautiful birds there.

Average zoo which makes it way to expensive. Sure its location is marvellous, the white lion and tigers impressive, but it misses heart (literally, I mean a crokodile with his mouth taped so that people can take pictures is a bit much...)
