Miami MetroZoo : info and guided tour

Introduction to Miami MetroZoo

Miami MetroZoo, now known as Zoo Miami, is located south of Miami at 12400 SW 152nd St. This large zoological and botanical site houses animals in open spaces designed to recreate natural habitats as closely as possible. Its location on the outskirts of the city gives it a rare scale within the Miami metropolitan area.

The park is laid out around wide shaded walkways, tropical gardens, and enclosures that highlight the diversity of wildlife. As a nonprofit organization, it combines animal exhibits, conservation, and public education. The botanical side of the site also adds to the lush atmosphere typical of South Florida.

Visitors can discover species from different regions of the world, presented in a setting that encourages walking and observation. The site’s location in Miami-Dade makes it an important part of the local cultural landscape. The address and coordinates clearly place this large park at the southwestern edge of Miami.
