Monkey Jungle is a renowned 30-acre (120,000 m²) wildlife park established in 1933 for the exhibition and study of endangered monkeys in semi-natural habitats. Many novel and innovative projects have been conducted at the park, which is also a popular tourist attraction in the Miami, Florida area. The park is in suburban Miami in Cutler Bay at South 216th Street/Hainlin Mill Road near West 147th Avenue.

The park has about 400 primates of 30 different species running loose. Guests walk through a series of tunnel cages. Its tagline is "Where the humans are caged and the monkeys run wild". It includes an Amazonian rainforest, the only semi-natural tropical rainforest found in North America.^[1]
