ZWF Miami

Best interactive animal experiences ever! I went with my family for my birthday last year and had the best time. All of the staff were super friendly and the animals were too. We did the general experience and I had the primate encounter and I loved every second of it, hopefully will be going again this year to celebrate my birthday!

I have visited here 4 times now and every time was a great and unique experience that is not something you find anywhere! I have visited 3 times in 2019, and once again very recently last week. There was a small complication with one encounter, but the tour guide was amazing and accommodated us with two extra experiences to make up for the inconvenience! There aren’t places in Florida that have close up and personal encounters with animals like the ones at this sanctuary. It is also very private and NOTHING like an overcrowded zoo experience. They offer discounts throughout the year which makes it easier to do multiple experiences. I recommend it as a fun activity with friends, family, or a date with a partner!

Started coming here last year and I was back as recently as of last week and I plan on going back again in the future. Great place to immerse yourself with the animals they offer encounters with. Limbani is my favorite!

We drove an hour to get here on our vacation only for our tour to be canceled by storms, and the zoo refused to provide a refund. Still waiting for the issue to be resolved.

Never knew this place existed and I'm so happy I got to spend my birthday here! What an amazing place they have running in almost the middle of nowhere Redlands. They have so many exotic animals from little armadillos all the way to giant ligers and tigers and jaguars. We did the two hour tour with Caro (she was amazing) we got to see some of the facility and where most of the animals are housed. We learned most of the residents names, where they are native to and how they came to be at ZWF usually via rescue or donation from other places. At the end of our tour we sat in a very nice pavilion where we had a personal one on one interaction with multiple animals and got to feed them and hold them and take lots of pictures. I believe the owners names were Mario and Maria? They have a STUNNING place and I think everyone would love to check it out. Had an exceptional time here. Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable and it was clean and well maintained and you can tell the animals have been raised here with love.

This was such a cool and fun experience, our tour guide showed us everything. She also gave us facts about the animals! We were able to hold and pet most animals p.s Michael Jacksons flamingos were sent here after his passing which was so cool! Also, the animals were lively and very well taken care of and most were very playful (excluding sloths, etc) the workers were clearly passionate with what they did too!

Very impressive. Since there wasn't a lot going on, our tour even took a little longer than planned. We even got a "private" tour here, since no other guests had booked this tour. Our guide (Tamyra) was awesome; it catered completely to our wishes and gave us all the time to look and marvel.

Great tour for the price but some of the animals had small cages with very little room to move around. The worst cage had to be the Jaguar enclosure.

The lion peed on us… it was awesome! The whole experience was amazing! Definitely a must do! It was worth every penny. I would do it again for sure. She said it was the best birthday present ever. Lol

This was an amazing experience! My son wanted to hold a real monkey. I called in advance, they answered all my questions, and the experience was exactly as they described. We didn't want to leave! <3

Such a great experience! Definitely going back for a up close encounter! So many animals! Very informative

One star, because I found out there’s 40% discount on their website - Nobody said a word about it and charged us full price. I feel frustrated that stuff treated us like that. Not nice of them. Everybody allowed to touch an owl. Owls hate then their feathers touched. Their owl looked miserable. Also was sad to see a jaguar in a cage. It’s the fastest animal in the world and in wild he runs a lot of miles. Running is his nature. They should never be kept in such cages. Tickets were almost $100 per person to let pet little monkey for one minute. Save your money and go to Lion Country Safari for way better experience and cheaper price, where animals roaming free in tremendous territory

Bro I don’t even need to go hear… you charged the woman who was bit by a monkey and didn’t refund her! WOWWWW. Then I read that the owner FUNDED ZWF as a cover for his narcotics distribution empire. What the hell is going on over there Mario?

Excellent place, small but with a lot of exotic animals.
Having the chance to have contact with the animals is great

An excellent experience for our family. Amazing animals and a great visit spent with our tour guide Melissa. I definitely recommend this for families with young kids.

Jabari and Michaela were nothing short of incredible to us. They made sure we enjoyed every second of our tour and experiences.
What a great thing to receive the care and customer service those 2 provided. Jabari took the time to educate us with a variety of things we had no idea about. He doesn’t only care about the animals (all animals love him back) he cares about us being comfortable, enjoying and also knowing what is behind the life/habits of each animal and their uniqueness.
Absolute best decision to visit this location, and blessed for the 2 great team members that made it that worthwhile.

Everyone who works here is super passionate and extremely welcoming. The animals are loved in abundance and it shows throughout the facility. Definitely a must if you’re looking for an interactive wildlife experience.

Lovely experience for kids. Great staff, amazing place and wonderful animals. You don't get any closer to animals than this!

Typical “zoo” that exploits animals for $$. Ludacris prices for packages such as 550 to exploit beautiful lions and big cats and “play” tug of war as if they’re dogs. These kind of tourism trash spots need to cease to exist. Disappointing.the animals look like they’re in horrible condition. I hope this place is shut down and they are rescued soon.
