When visiting Zoo Miami (formerly Miami Metro Zoo) there are not many discount opportunities, but it is possible to get discounts to Zoo Miami. One way by saving money on your Zoo trip is by using Zoo Miami coupons, and now you can print Zoo Miami coupons at Recyclebank here. If you don't have a printer, you can find other ways to get Zoo Miami coupons below.
The Florida Attractions Map on the right, is a great coupon source, and it does in fact have Zoo Miami Coupons. You can find it at your local tourist information, at hotel lobbies, Tri Rail stations (look inside), at the Sawgrass Mills Mall (by the entrance to the oasis) and in many more places.

- The South Florida Heat: Bring hats, sunscreen and perhaps even umbrellas to shield against the sun. Go in the morning or late afternoon.

Zoo Miami is a fantastic place to explore with the kids, and the surroundings are beautiful with a natural Florida tropical setting. The animals have much more place than at many city zoos, and there are something for everyone to see.
