No zoological park offers an experience like Jungle Island. This park offers a couple of tours where you can actually touch animals like lemurs and the world's only tame Cassowary. Other animal attractions around the park include orangutans, gibbons, African penguins, Caribbean flamingos, alligators, pythons, tigers, and a rare liger.

Have some fun in the sun at Virginia Key Beach Park. This beautiful park boasts a playground, a miniature train, an antique carousel, a large pavilion and much more. But while you're there, don't forget the park's main attraction – the beach!
