About Monkey Jungle

Monkey Jungle is a wildlife eco-show park and discovery center in a natural subtropical forest in southern Miami-Dade County, open since 1935. The park spreads across 30 acres, and the animals live much as they would in native habitats.

The park's tagline sums up the setup: humans are caged and monkeys run wild. Visitors follow scheduled eco-shows, including a wild monkey swimming pool show with a Java macaque troop, a reptile review, and a show in the Amazonian Rainforest, described as the only semi-natural tropical rainforest in North America.

Wings of Love, a parrot sanctuary hosted on site, can be visited any time during your stay. Guests can explore on their own or join a guided Rainforest Adventure Tour, and the gift shop, free parking, and wheelchair-accessible entrance make logistics simple.

Plan around the show times, since admission is on the higher side and the park takes two to three hours to see. The address is 14805 SW 216th St in the Redland area, well south of downtown.
