Fodor's Review:

South Florida's original tourist attraction, the park is home to more than 1,100 exotic birds, a few orangutans and snakes, a squadron of flamingos, a rare albino alligator, a liger (lion and tiger mix), and a 28-foot-long "crocosaur," plus amazing orchids and other flowering plants. There's also the Hippo, a three-story waterslide open on weekend afternoons. Kids enjoy the hands-on (make that wings-on) experience of having parrots perch on their shoulders. The nearby Ichimura Japanese garden is open on weekends and free to enter. You can eat at the indoor-outdoor lakeside café, overlooking the Caribbean flamingos, without paying the park's admission fee.

Cost: $22.95 plus $7 parking
Open: Daily 10-6

After closing parrot jungle, we were expecting Parrot Jungle Island to be a another place with performing parrots. Apperantly, there are so few parrots, they renamed it Jungle Isalnd. It is still a great place, with several other animals, from tigers to monkeys, and the kids love it!
