HoursOpen daily 10am-5pm, every day of the year; last ticket sold at 4pm. Reduced hours on Thanksgiving and Christmas, and early 4pm closings (last ticket 3pm) on night-event days (e.g., Oct 3 and Oct 17 per the current Tickets page; additional Nov/Dec dates per the FAQ).

PricesAdult (13+) $30, inclusive of sales tax

Price notesCurrent official Tickets page: Adult (13+) $30 and Child (3-12) $26, both inclusive of 7% local sales tax; children 2 and under free; zoo members free. This reconciles with the official eStore, which lists regular prices of $28.04/adult and $24.30/child before tax (online sale prices $27.10 / $23.36 before tax). CONFLICT: the zoo's FAQ page still states $25.95 plus tax/adult and $21.95 plus tax/child, which appears outdated (see report). Discounts on the official Tickets page: military 50% off regular adult admission (plus 25% off for up to 6 guests, onsite only); seniors 65+ 25% off (onsite); Miami-Dade County employees $4 off for up to 6 people; reciprocal zoo/aquarium members 50% off (2 adults + 2 children); Golden Ticket program gives free Tuesday admission to Miami-Dade County senior residents 62+. Museums for All: NOT confirmed - no Museums for All mention was found on Zoo Miami's own pages.

Age notesOfficial ticket tiers: Adult ages 13 and older; Child ages 3-12; children 2 and younger are free and require no ticket.

BookingOnline ticket purchase requires choosing a date of visit (zoo manages daily guest numbers). Tickets needing photo-ID discounts (military, senior, reciprocal) must be purchased onsite at the Ticketing Building.

Suggested timeAbout 4 hours

AccessibilityAccessibility page and Rentals page: wheelchairs ($11/day incl. tax), motorized wheelchairs/ECVs ($35/day incl. tax), and single/double strollers ($11/$13 per day incl. tax) are available to rent, with advance reservation recommended; service animals are permitted. The zoo's Zoo Cubs program page describes a 'stroller-friendly walk' into the zoo. No sensory-friendly program or quiet-space provision was confirmed on the zoo's own pages, so 'sensory'/'quiet' are not included.

ParkingFree parking (stated in Zoo Miami's own site boilerplate: 'Children under two, zoo members, and parking are free').

Verified perk: Golden Ticket — free Tuesday admission for Miami-Dade seniors 62+Per Zoo Miami's official Tickets page: the Golden Ticket program gives free Tuesday admission to Miami-Dade County senior residents age 62+. The county Golden Ticket Arts Guide is free for Miami-Dade senior residents 62+; reserve with the venue in advance and bring a Golden Ticket coupon + photo ID showing age and residency (Miami-Dade County).
