The history of Jungle Island dates back to 1936, when it first opened as Parrot Jungle in Pinecrest, Florida, primarily as a wildlife attraction featuring exotic birds and lush jungle foliage. In 2003, the venue relocated to its current spot on Watson Island, situated between Downtown Miami and Miami Beach, and rebranded as Jungle Island.
