Park Rules
The Zoo Miami Security Department recommends that large groups bring cell phones or group two-way radios. This way, group members can easily contact each other.
In order to maintain a safe and fun-filled environment, visitors of all ages are expected to closely observe all of the rules.
-
Rule Number One: ENJOY YOUR VISIT!
The Zoo is a wonderful place to explore, learn, and relax. Our few rules help ensure an enjoyable and safe experience. -
Be kind to the animals. If you harass or do something intentionally to harm an animal you will be escorted out of the zoo.
-
Straws, balloons, skateboards, skates, bicycles, radios, glass containers, fireworks, balls, and frisbees are not permitted.
-
Sorry, no pets (guide animals are permitted).
-
No distribution of printed literature of any kind in or at the zoo.
-
Feeding animals is prohibited in all areas of the zoo unless specifically stated (pelican feeding area, petting zoo). Our animals have scientifically formulated diets to ensure their health and well-being. You may feed animals in those areas where feed is on sale from the zoo, but only and exclusively with the feed provided by the zoo.
-
For your safety and to help preserve our valuable plant and tree collection, please stay on the pathways. Do not pick any plants or leaves.
-
Speak nicely. Vulgar, profane or disrespectful language is not allowed.
-
Sorry, food and drinks cannot be brought into the Zoo. Picnic tables outside the entrance are available for your use.
-
For the safety and comfort of our guests and animals, smoking is only permitted in designated areas. These designated areas are conveniently located throughout the Zoo and are clearly marked.
-
