Zoo Miami is the largest zoo in Florida and the fifth largest in the United States. As the only subtropical zoo in the continental U.S., its climate enables a diverse collection of species from Asia, Australia, Africa, and the Americas, with exhibits organized to reflect their geographic territories. Its history traces back to 1948 when it opened as Crandon Park Zoo on Key Biscayne. Today the facility spans almost 750 acres, features about 4 miles of walkways, and houses more than 3,000 animals representing over 500 species, including more than 130 at risk in the wild, alongside a plant collection of more than 1,000 species. It is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and participates in roughly 30 conservation programs annually across five continents.
