Visiting Zoo Miami: Finding Zoo Miami Coupons and Discounts

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 best way is to head to a place that offers tourist information and tourist maps, as these often have coupons in them. My first place to look is always at our local South Florida rail station, inside the ticket counter area there is a huge attraction display.

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.

Another great way to have a frugal afternoon at Zoo Miami is by visiting Zoo Miami for free on Museum Day. The Smithsonian Museum Day 2011 takes place on September 24th, 2011, and you can find more information about Free Museum Day here.

You can also find great Zoo Miami discounts in the local Entertainment Book, it is currently $8.99+ Free Shipping (Sale will end soon).

Kids under 2 are always free at Zoo Miami. Go here for Zoo Miami admission fees.

When planning your trip to Zoo Miami, there are a few things to take into consideration. 

• The South Florida Heat: Bring hats, sunscreen and perhaps even umbrellas to shield against the sun. Go in the morning or late afternoon.
• You are not allowed to bring food or drinks into Zoo Miami: Drinks are $3 and so is Slush Ice. There are picnic tables outside of the zoo, where you can eat any lunch brought from home. 
• The walking distance: Zoo Miami is huge with more than 3 miles of walkways (327 acres developed). The monorail is $3 per person, and after 4:30 is free.  There is also a tram that cost $4.95 per person, and a small bike rental is $22. (see the Zoo Miami website for the latest prices)
• Zoo Miami opening hours: 9:30 - 5:30 (gates close at 4 pm)
• Bring your own stroller: Stroller rental fees: $8 - $10 

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. 

At the kids zoo, you can find reptiles and snakes in eye height for the kids, get a camel ride ($5) or ride the carousel ($2).
