Things to do in Miami
Miami MetroZoo is fast becoming one of the best zoos in the US. Its climate allows it to keep a wide variety of animals from Asia, Australia and Africa like no other zoo in the country. One of the first free-range zoos in the country, the exhibits are entirely cageless. Animals are grouped according to their geographic territory and animals that live together peacefully in the wild are placed in exhibits together. Other animals in the area are separated by moats. Looking out across the African plains, for example, you see the animals apparently co-mingling much as you would on a safari.
Miami Seaquarium offers visitors an entertaining and educational experience found in very few locations in the United States. Our region’s tropical climate allows for year-round outdoor marine shows featuring dolphins, killer whales and other sea creatures. The Seaquarium also visitors the chance to swim with dolphins.
