Known forfamilywildlifeoutdooreducational
One of the largest zoos in the country and a cageless, open-habitat design that lets you see rhinos, elephants, tigers, and a Florida native exhibit up close. It's genuinely well-run and great for families, with bike and monorail options to cover the huge grounds. The big honest caveat: it's largely unshaded and the South Florida heat is brutal, so go at opening and bring water, or you'll be miserable by noon.
