Zoo Miami has been on my bucket list for Florida for awhile and we finally got the opportunity to visit during Spring Break. It's a lengthy drive to Zoo Miami from the city, but it was worth it. The space, greenery and layout was appealing when we arrived. Parking is free.
Since we visited the zoo with a reciprocal membership ticket (for 50% off ticket prices), we were able to get our tickets at the window. Otherwise, you need to purchase your tickets online ahead of time. Current prices are $22.95 for people 13+ and $18.95 for children ages 3-12.
Currently, masks are required but no temperatures were taken and no one enforced the mask policy.
Since we visited on a weekday, there was no crowd at all. Lines were short and fast.

To participate in the Virtual Egg Hunt, you need to download a third-party app called Eventzee, enter the ZooMiami code, then scan each QR coded egg as you find them along your journey. Each egg comes with a hint which the kids enjoyed deciphering (even though the eggs are in order as you walk along the path). My only complaint was that the game says one treat per device but the attendant at the end of the game refused to honor that and said it was one per family.

If you prefer not to do a lot of walking, you can pedal around instead on a rented surrey bike. Prices start at $39 for a small bike or $54 for a larger bike, for three hours.
They had pedal boats (to rent?) but no one was attending it that day.

Our overall family review:
- 16 year old - Enjoyed the photo ops
- 11 year old - Enjoyed the egg hunt
- 6 year old - Liked the animals; got bored with the egg hunt
