Jungle Island

Jungle Island is a wildlife park and eco-adventure destination on Watson Island, home to nearly 3,000 animal, bird, and plant species. Visitors can walk shaded trails, watch the Guardians of the Jungle wildlife show, and get up close with lemurs, capybaras, sloths, flamingos, and capuchin monkeys through hands-on animal encounters.

Beyond the animal exhibits, the park features Treetop Trekking's ropes and zipline courses along with Treewalk Village, a canopy playground of interconnected treehouses that keeps kids entertained for hours. A petting zoo, playgrounds, picnic areas, and a splash of shows round out the family-friendly offerings.

Located directly across from the PortMiami cruise terminals and just minutes from Downtown Miami and South Beach, Jungle Island makes an easy add-on for cruise passengers or a full day out for local families. General admission tickets start around $30 per adult, with combo options for animal encounters and seasonal events like Luminosa and Holiday Village adding extra ways to experience the park throughout the year.
