What a day there looks like
Jungle Island is an animal park on Watson Island, between downtown Miami and South Beach on the MacArthur Causeway. General admission runs 9:30 am to 5 pm every day, with last admission at 4 pm. Its own FAQ puts a typical visit at 2 to 5 hours.
The ticket covers walking the grounds, the Treewalk Village, the wildlife exhibits and the Guardians of the Jungle show, the Everglades habitat, the playground and the Manu Aviary. The close-up time with animals is an extra: Animal Encounters run daily from 9 am to 4 pm, and VIP encounters need an online reservation.
The park is open rain or shine. Animal encounters and Treewalk Village close while there is lightning nearby and reopen 15 to 30 minutes after the last strike, which in summer can mean a long pause.
Animal encounter age rules
| Encounter | Minimum age | Max group |
|---|---|---|
| Sloth | 10 and up | 4 |
| Flamingo | 10 and up | 8 |
| Lemur | 6 and up | 6 |
| Capybara | 6 and up | 10 |
| Giant Tortoise | 6 and up | 10 |
| Wallaby | 4 and up | 6 |
| Bunny | All ages | 10 |
| Petting Zoo | All ages | 10 |
Per-encounter prices are on each booking page; the overview page did not list them. Check the age rule before you promise a seven-year-old a sloth.
