Jungle Island

My bestie and I loved walking around discovering the unique displays in this World of Enchantment. The colors are so vibrant and striking! We thoroughly enjoyed how we were outside in nature seeing these structures amongst the living trees; finding lizards warming themselves on the lanterns was a treat! We were a smidge late for the show which was quick, cute and Asian- which I’m assuming was the tie-in with the lanterns. Kudos to the great bar woman, serving up the cocktails! It’s hard to pick a favorite display. I will say I really loved the dragons.

I went for my 1 year anniversary and my experience was unforgettable. VIP was pricey but it was well worth it and we had an incredible time. Ryan was our VIP tour guide and he was awesome!! So knowledgeable, very sweet, great instructions on how to pet all the animals we got to see, lovely facts and stories, we really enjoyed having him as our tour guide he’s so good!!! The photographer that was with us was also very nice! We’ve never had such an intimate experience with animal encounters. They made our experience feel special and I’m really looking forward to coming back!! ❤️

I recently visited Jungle Island for the Luminosa event, and while it was enjoyable, it felt a bit underwhelming. The lantern displays were beautiful, but the event’s layout was unclear—I wasn’t sure if I missed part of it or if it was just smaller than expected. More signage or guidance would have really helped enhance the experience. Since it was nighttime, I didn’t see many animals aside from a few birds and a turtle. On the plus side, parking was easy in the garage, though it costs $20. Overall, it was a nice outing, but there’s room for improvement in organization and flow.

AMAZING experience!! We did the sloth encounter and the capybara encounter, and both were totally worth it. If you are debating, do it!! You can tell all the animals at Jungle Island are well taken care of and loved. Every animal or bird type are in pairs, and such a nice idea that no animals are alone. The staff was super friendly and helpful. It was a great experience and we will definitely be going back!

We visited Jungle Island on two previous occasions to Miami when my son was younger and loved the park. The interaction with the birds alone makes this place a must visit, especially if you have young children. We were back again today as the start of the LifeTime Tropical 5k was right at the entrance of Jungle Island. The organizers of the race did a fantastic job. The course ended in Miami Beach, which was great. Now I'm looking forward to the Marathon tomorrow!
