Safari Edventure, located just outside of Miami in southwest Miami-Dade County, Florida, isn't your typical zoo. This non-profit organization focuses on providing close encounters with rescued and rehabilitated animals. Here's what you can expect on your visit:
Animal Encounters:
The star of the show is the variety! Over 120 species from 5 continents call Safari Edventure home. You might cuddle a sloth, hold an alligator (safely!), or even play with a wolf. They have kangaroos, lemurs, monkeys, foxes, and a whole lot more.
Daily presentations by the staff allow you to learn more about the animals and even get a hands-on experience.
Explore the Grounds:
- With five acres to explore, Safari Edventure offers more than just animal encounters. Wander through butterfly and hummingbird gardens, take in the beauty of the rainforest gardens, or learn about herbs and spices. The park also features many mature trees, providing plenty of shade and a relaxing atmosphere.
Additional Information:
- Safari Edventure is open from 10 am to 5 pm and is wheelchair accessible.
- Tickets are typically priced around $18 for adults and $15 for children.
- Be sure to check their website or call ahead for information on animal encounter fees and times.
Since Safari Edventure is a non-profit, your visit not only allows you to have a unique animal experience but also supports their mission of animal rescue and education.
