Florida’s zoos range from massive (Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Tampa’s Lowry Park Zoo) to quirky and quaint (Monkey Jungle in Miami, Gatorland in Orlando).
Area zoos and wildlife parks house a range of rare and unusual animals, mammals, birds and beasts from across the seven continents. Many offer special programs such as behind-the-scenes tours, trainer talks and eco excursions. A few places even “cage” the humans and let the animals run free!
