If you’re searching for a private exotic animal experience in Miami, you’ve found something very different.
This isn’t a public zoo where you’re moving through crowds, viewing animals behind glass or waiting in line for a brief interaction. Our experience is intentionally private, intimate and unhurried, giving your family or group time to actually enjoy the property, meet the animals and create memories together.
Spend up to two hours exploring our tropical South Florida property, walking private animal trails, interacting with a rotating collection of animals, taking photos beside our coral waterfall pond and relaxing or enjoying lunch beneath the covered palapa.
There isn’t another group waiting behind you for their turn.
This experience is curated around you.
Private reservations can be created for couples, families, children, adults, visiting guests and small groups looking for something genuinely unusual to do in Miami.
Depending on your selected experience and animal availability, you may meet and interact with animals such as:
And, of course, there’s Snowball, our lovable white camel.
Some animals may be held, touched, fed or photographed under the direction of their animal professional. The exact animals and level of interaction vary based on availability, temperament, weather, safety considerations and the individual animal.
That’s part of what makes every visit different.
Rather than trying to see hundreds of animals in one afternoon, this experience is about having more meaningful time with a carefully selected collection of animals in a private setting.
The animals are only part of what makes the experience special.
Your reservation takes place on a private tropical property designed to feel worlds away from the typical South Florida attraction.
Walk the animal trails and discover who’s waiting along the way. Stop for photographs around the property and beside the coral waterfall pond. Spend time with the animals rather than rushing from one encounter to another.
Then settle beneath the covered palapa for lunch, refreshments or simply some time together.
For families visiting South Florida, it can become a memorable alternative to another crowded tourist attraction. For local families, it’s the kind of experience that makes you wonder how something this unusual was hiding in your own backyard.
The property is also available for private venue rentals, celebrations and complete experiences.
Instead of renting a traditional party room and then bringing entertainment into it, you can host your guests in a tropical setting where the environment and animals become part of the event itself.
Our private animal venue features outdoor gathering areas, tropical landscaping, animal trails, a covered palapa/pavilion and coral waterfall pond, with space for intimate gatherings and private events up to 40-50 guests, depending on the event layout and requirements.
And because our team brings more than 20 years of professional South Florida event-production experience, we can help with much more than simply providing the property.
We can help turn the location into the experience.
For children—or adults who haven’t outgrown their sense of adventure—our property offers an alternative to the typical Miami birthday party venue.
Instead of bringing a mobile animal encounter to your backyard, bring your birthday to the animals.
Guests can explore the property, encounter selected animals, take photographs and enjoy the tropical surroundings while the rest of the celebration is designed around them.
Keep it simple with animals, food and cake beneath the palapa, or build a more complete birthday experience with themed décor, music, games, activities, photography, entertainment and catering.
A meeting doesn’t always need four walls and a conference table.
Our property can become a unique corporate event and team-building venue in Miami for executive meetings, employee appreciation events, client entertainment, creative retreats, company celebrations and content days.
Host a meeting beneath the covered pavilion, break for lunch and incorporate animal encounters or team activities into the day.
For companies entertaining clients or rewarding employees, it provides something particularly valuable: an experience people probably haven’t already done.
Photographers, brands, agencies, influencers, musicians and production teams can reserve the property as a private Miami photo-shoot and video location with exotic animals.
The tropical property provides multiple environments in one location, including animal trails, palms and landscaping, the waterfall pond and covered pavilion.
Approved animals can potentially be incorporated into professional photography, social media campaigns, fashion and lifestyle shoots, music content, engagement or quinceañera photography, brand activations and other creative productions.
Tell us what you’re trying to create. We can help determine which available animals, locations and production approach make sense for the concept.
If dinner and drinks aren’t quite memorable enough, create an experience neither of you is likely to forget.
A private animal encounter can become the beginning of an intimate Miami date-night experience for two.
Walk the property, meet the animals and take photos together before transitioning to a private meal beneath the palapa or outdoors.
For anniversaries, birthdays, engagements, proposals or special surprises, the experience can potentially be enhanced with dinner or catering, flowers, lighting, music, photography and other romantic details.
Dinner reservations are easy. Dinner after meeting lemurs and a white camel is a different story.
You don’t need to be planning a formal event to reserve the property.
Private experiences and property rentals can be created for:
For guests searching for unique things to do in Miami with animals, the greatest luxury may simply be having the experience to yourselves.
Your reservation can remain beautifully simple—or we can build around it.
Through our professional event-production resources, qualifying private events can incorporate catering, tables and seating, tropical or safari décor, professional lighting, DJs or live musicians, photographers and videographers, children’s activities, specialty entertainment, custom signage and other enhancements.
That gives you the ability to coordinate the venue, animals and event experience through one team rather than piecing everything together separately.
Tell us what you’re celebrating and the atmosphere you want to create. We’ll help determine what’s possible.
Our private exotic animal experiences and venue rentals serve guests throughout Miami-Dade, Broward County and South Florida, including Miami, Homestead, Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Kendall, Palmetto Bay, Cutler Bay, Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood and surrounding communities.
We’re also an unusual option for families and groups visiting Miami and South Florida who want an experience beyond the traditional beaches, shopping districts and tourist attractions.
All private experiences are scheduled in advance so the property, animals and appropriate animal professionals can be prepared for your group.
No. This is a private animal-experience property and event venue. Visits are arranged in advance rather than operating as a traditional walk-in public zoo or attraction.
Experiences can be designed for up to approximately two hours. Venue rentals, birthdays, corporate programs, photo shoots and special events can have different schedules depending on the reservation.
Many experiences include hands-on interaction, feeding, touching, holding or photography with selected animals. The exact interaction depends on the animal and is always determined by the responsible animal professional based on safety, temperament and conditions that day.
Depending on availability, experiences may feature lemurs or honey bears, tortoises or turtles, snakes, small alligators, macaws or cockatoos, lavender skunks or fennec foxes, chinchillas, baby goats and other specialty animals. Snowball, our white camel, can also be incorporated into select experiences.
Not at all. We host families, couples, adult birthday groups, corporate guests, photographers and other private groups. The experience can be adapted to the ages and interests of your guests.

This experience was created for people who want something more personal.
Walk the trails. Meet the animals. Take the photographs. Relax beside the waterfall. Have lunch beneath the palapa. Celebrate something important—or simply spend an extraordinary couple of hours together.
No crowds. No assembly line. No ordinary day at the zoo.
Just your group, a private tropical South Florida setting and an animal experience created around you.
Reserve your private animal experience, venue rental or property buyout and tell us what you’d like to create.
