Monkey Jungle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Monkey Jungle is a renowned 30 acre wildlife park established in 1933 for the exhibition and study of endangered monkeys in semi-natural habitats. Many novel and innovative projects have been conducted at the park, which is also a popular tourist attraction in the Miami, Florida area. The park is located southwest of Miami, west of the village of Cutler Bay on Southwest 216th Street (Hainlin Mill Road) near Southwest 147th Avenue.

The park has about 400 primates of 30 different species running loose. Guests walk through a series of tunnel cages. Its tagline is "Where the humans are caged and the monkeys run wild". It includes an Amazonian rainforest, the only semi-natural tropical rainforest found in North America.^[1]
