ZWF Miami

What an amazing experience! My husband surprised me for my birthday by booking us an encounter with otters and a monkey. The lady who worked with us was so sweet. She was very knowledgeable of the animals and made for sure we had a great experience. The place is also gorgeous and has so many other animals to see. Thank you for having such a beautiful place for us to learn and interact with these amazing creatures. ❤️

This facility is awesome! My husband and I recently did the Feline Experience and were able to feed lions, tigers, a liger, and hand feed servals. We were able to interact and play with a baby bob cat, juvenile serval, and an adult clouded leopard. Unfortunately, we were unable to do the tug of war, but our awesome keeper/guide Jay allowed us to feed more of the big cats. Jay was great and we appreciate her showing us all that ZWF does! This facility is pricey, but the money goes towards all of the amazing animals and those who care for them. In the past, I have visited to do multiple animal interactions including lion, jaguar, and tiger cubs (please note the cub photos were from 2015), as well as lemurs, gibbons, and more. Not many places offer these experiences, so if you want to see exotic animals up close, go to ZWF! The animals are definitely well cared for and it does not go unnoticed by how loved they are.

I have visited here 4 times now and every time was a great and unique experience that is not something you find anywhere! I have visited 3 times in 2019, and once again very recently last week. There was a small complication with one encounter, but the tour guide was amazing and accommodated us with two extra experiences to make up for the inconvenience! There aren’t places in Florida that have close up and personal encounters with animals like the ones at this sanctuary. It is also very private and NOTHING like an overcrowded zoo experience. They offer discounts throughout the year which makes it easier to do multiple experiences. I recommend it as a fun activity with friends, family, or a date with a partner!

Never knew this place existed and I'm so happy I got to spend my birthday here! What an amazing place they have running in almost the middle of nowhere Redlands. They have so many exotic animals from little armadillos all the way to giant ligers and tigers and jaguars. We did the two hour tour with Caro (she was amazing) we got to see some of the facility and where most of the animals are housed. We learned most of the residents names, where they are native to and how they came to be at ZWF usually via rescue or donation from other places. At the end of our tour we sat in a very nice pavilion where we had a personal one on one interaction with multiple animals and got to feed them and hold them and take lots of pictures. I believe the owners names were Mario and Maria? They have a STUNNING place and I think everyone would love to check it out. Had an exceptional time here. Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable and it was clean and well maintained and you can tell the animals have been raised here with love.

This place is highly recommended for kids who love animals! I went with my 8 year old daughter and did the arctic wolf and singing dog encounter. We were a bit skeptical if we could actually touch wolves since I don't think the website clearly says you can, but we actually could and it was the most amazing experience we've ever had! Our tour guide, Melissa was very knowledgable, kind, and friendly. All the staff in the zoo were very polite, friendly and professional! I would come again for another encounter and tour.
