Jungle Island, neighbor of the Miami Children's Museum, offers a lush oasis for animals lovers.

Be sure to make time for the Winged Wonders show, where colorful birds fly in circles above your head. See birds talk, fly through hoops and more. Meet the king vulture, the cockatoo, the 6-foot Cassowary and many more colorful winged creatures.

Another great performance, produced by the conservation organization T.I.G.E.R.S., is the Tale of the Tiger. Find yourself face-to-face with a wolf, a tiger, a skunk, a white-handed gibbon and even a binturong. After the show, stick around and purchase a photo of yourself and a cuddly tiger cub, with proceeds benefiting T.I.G.E.R.S.

Fun and informative Keeper Talks occur throughout the day, and include Primate Presentation, Flamingo Feeding, Manu Encounter, Tiger Tales, Feed the Lorikeets and Kangaroo Konnection. Grab a map at the park's entrance to find out what show is where.

Monkey around with the orangutans and cool down with the African penguins. Your little one can burn some energy at the park's playground.

At Jungle Island, visitors are close to the animals. Parrots line certain walkways and are not shy. If you want an even closer animal encounter, explore the park's VIP options, which include a 90-minute Safari Tour, a Lemur Experience and a Penguin Encounter.

If you get hungry, pop into the Lakeside Cafe and grab a bite to eat. Indoor seating and outdoor seating is available, and the outdoor patio has a lovely view of Flamingo Lake. You will surely see a group of flamingos brightening up the lake. Also if you need a break from the outdoors, a small arcade can be found inside the Cafe.

Jungle Island has educational (and fun!) programs like the overnight Jungle Slumber, summer camps, scout programs, fieldtrips and more. There may be some discounted days or special promotions going on at the park. Check the website or call the park for details. Jungle Island is open 365 days a year.

Jungle Island's Treetop Ballroom can be rented for fund raisers, corporate events, weddings, birthday parties or other events. Contact the park for more information.

The Adventures of Jungle Jim!

Summer has arrived and our new private beach, La Playa, is here to cool you off!

My name is Jungle Jim, and I want to tell you about La Playa here at Jungle Island. It has an amazing view of the bay and three steller inflated water slides.

I can tell you that everyone is bound to have a great time. Also on the beach is myself, Jungle Jim, and my best friend Jungle Kim.
We are Jungle Island's very own Jungle Adventures! Throughout the day we have super fun adventurers and fantastic activities for everyone who wants to participate, from a limbo competition to hula-hoop contests and much more. Each game is another adventure to embark on! So come on over to La Playa where you can sit by the beach and enjoy a piña colada, or run around and have great adventurers with myself and Jungle Kim.

This is Jungle Jim signing off wishing you have a Jungle-riffic day!

A "Winged Wonder"

A green wing macaw parrot suddenly turned up months ago and has decided to make Jungle Island it's home, specifically the Parrot Bowl. It had taken to flying in the beggining of the Winged Wonders show with the other free flying macaws and was seen walking on the net that covers the Manu encounter where again, macaws are flying free and co-inhabit with the squirrel monkeys. Ryan Prentice, who runs our famous bird show, Winged Wonders, thinks that it is middle aged. Since it had no tag, we assumed that it escaped or has been on the loose since Hurricane Andrew, 15 years ago. We didn't know whether it was a male or female, as you cannot tell with parrots, the male and females are equally colorful, all of them except for the electric parrot, where the females are red and the males are green, which it was. Although it is not tame, we managed to catch it and placed it in the Manu Encounter with the other free flying birds. Today, he has become the alpha male of the Manu Encounter!

"It's Pretty Much My Favorite Animal..."

Sure, there may be plenty of beautiful birds, an array of creepy reptiles, and groups of primates that will bring a smile to your face, but there is one certain thing, there's only one "King of the Jungle". Our Guinness World Record holder, Hercules, is not only the largest liger, but also the largest cat in the world, standing tall at over 12 feet and weighing more than 900 pounds! Here at Jungle Island, the only attraction where Hercules can be seen in person, he has surely swiped the popularity contest for his own as more and more people around the world learn about his presence. Our hybrid of tiger and lion has appeared on countless shows, such as the 'Today Show', 'Good Morning America', and 'Inside Edition' to name a few, warming hearts wherever he goes. Hercules, however, has some competition from his cuter, smaller nephew, Oden, who is also featured at Jungle Island. Oden, a Liger cub, and Hercules continue to show why Jungle Island is a premiere venue in South Florida for rare animals, entertainment, and fun!

The Lemur Experience!

Here at Jungle Island, everyone is bound to have an incredible experience with our animals. Although each creature at our park is unique, our newest, furry primates have already stirred things up! Jungle Island is now introducing their newest exhibit, the "Lemur Experience" featuring the "Loveable Lemurs" from Madagascar. We were able to have an encounter with these soft, little critters ourselves. We were greeted by one of the fantastic animal trainers who guided and provided us with an educational presentation. Sophie, the ring tailed lemur, was happy to see us. Along with Sophie were the Red-ruffed lemurs and the black and white lemurs, who all seemed very energetic as they played around their cages. These prosimians can grow up to be 24 inches, love eating, and enjoy sleeping! Holding their tiny bodies in your hands and feeding them is such a feeling, it just may bring a tear to your eye. They are truly a wonder to witness in person! Jungle Island invites you to this experience. Call 305-400-7275 to book your own experience, or visit http://www.jungleisland.com/ for more information!
