The sanctuary serves as a permanent refuge for permanently injured, non-releasable Florida native animals, including a flock of flamboyant Caribbean flamingos, American alligators, playful river otters, bobcats, Florida panthers, and Josh the resident black bear. Children can feed flamingos by hand in the Flamingo Pond and wander through the 25,000-square-foot free-flight aviary housing over 250 wading birds. Included with general admission is a comfortable, narrated 60-minute open-air tram tour that takes families back into one of the last remaining natural tropical hardwood hammocks in South Florida. The shaded grounds boast 21 of Florida's largest Champion Trees, the historic 1933 Wray Home Museum, and wide paved walkways accommodating strollers effortlessly. ## Similar picks in Miami - [Hoffman's Chocolates Winter Wonderland & Garden of Lights at Flamingo Gardens](https://grassyknees.com/miami/activities/hoffman-s-chocolates-winter-wonderland-and-garden-of-lights-at-flaming--listing-ae6fa69195e6d52e86f358b4) — Nov 21 – Dec 30 · 5:30 PM – 9:30 PM · Flamingo Gardens, Davie · All ages · From $24 · checked Nov 7.
