Day 26 – Monkey Jungle $$

April 6th, 2010 Categories: 365 Things To Do In Miami

I hate to admit that I live just blocks from Monkey Jungle and haven’t been there, in, like, forever.  =)  Sitting on a 30 acre preserve, Monkey Jungle is home to nearly 400 primates.

The attraction tagline is “Where humans are caged and monkeys run wild!”  And it’s true.  The mokeys are allowed to roam free here and you can see them up to their shenanigans. 

The Java monkey is a skilled diver in the wild, collecting crabs and other shellfish along the riverbanks and mangrove swamps. Scheduled feedings at MONKEY JUNGLE show off these water skills as animals dive into a pool to receive fruit from the guides.

Come explore Monkey Jungle today.  Remember to get your discount ticket online.

Day 25 – Jungle Island $$

April 6th, 2010 Categories: 365 Things To Do In Miami

I have to admit that I haven’t been to Jungle Island since it was in Pinecrest and called Parrot Jungle.  It’s time for a visit!

A most unusual attraction. Jungle Island is home to 1,100 tropical birds, 2,000 varieties of plants and flowers, and the best trained bird show in the world. It is a place where exotic birds “fly free” everyday.  <– I lifted this off their website LOL  Can’t wait to visit!

As with most attractions, if you purchase your tickets online, you get a discount.
