Jungle IslandFrom Mikomos
Jungle Island is an animal theme park in the city of Miami, Florida. It was originally Parrot Jungle until it moved from the village of Pinecrest to its present location on Watson Island in the city of Miami and renamed as Parrot Jungle Island, and renamed again in June 2007 to Jungle Island; the original location is still open as Pinecrest Gardens. The theme park's very visible landmark are the sails flying high over the Jungle Theater, an arena where visitors experience encounters with rare wildlife from all over the world. This unique structure has quickly become an icon and is hard to miss when driving on MacArthur Causeway (A1A) between downtown Miami and Miami Beach. Just on the other side of the theater lives Hercules, the 900-pound liger, a cross between a lion and a tiger. [1] Hours Subject to change.
