Redland Conservation Center

“My son and I had the best experience ever here! Jacob, his sister, and Savvy were all so kind and knowledgeable. The enclosures are well kept and designed to meet the needs of the animals. We got to interact with several of the animals, truly a once in a lifetime experience, and they genuinely seem to have amazing relationships with Jacob. The property is gorgeous, and we learned about the different fruit trees they have to support feeding the animals. They also take lots of photos which allows you to enjoy the experience, while they handle capturing the memories.”

“The most wonderful and intimate animal experience I've had in my 60 years. Thanks you for filling this dream of ours.”

“We had such a wonderful experience visiting Redland Conservation Center! Jacob and his family were incredibly kind and welcoming from the moment we arrived. You can truly tell how much they care about what they do. They took their time with us, patiently answering all of our questions and sharing so much knowledge about the animals. What really stood out was how relaxed and personal the visit felt—we never felt rushed and were able to spend meaningful time with each animal. It’s clear that the animals are well cared for and loved, and that made the experience even more special. We left feeling grateful, inspired, and have two little boys that will not stop talking about it. Highly recommend visiting if you get the chance!”

“Redland Conservation Center is a hidden gem in Miami. From the very first phone call, I knew this experience was going to be something special. Kimberly was incredibly warm, genuine, and welcoming, setting the tone for what turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences we have ever had. When we arrived, she personally met us at the gate, and the kindness continued the moment we parked, when Savi greeted us with the same warmth and enthusiasm. She was patient, knowledgeable, and so gracious in answering every question, making us feel completely comfortable and excited from the start. We were then introduced to Jacob, and it quickly became clear that this is his true calling. His passion for the animals is extraordinary. He has a natural connection with them that you can feel instantly. The way he speaks to them, handles them, and cares for them is so gentle, so respectful, and so genuine that you can tell the animals trust him completely. He is truly an animal whisperer. Watching him interact with them was just as incredible as the encounters themselves. Everything about Redland Conservation Center feels personal and intentional. It is a peaceful, intimate experience where you are able to truly take in the energy of the animals and the serene, beautiful surroundings. The atmosphere is calm, authentic, and almost magical. You leave feeling connected, not just entertained. We did the Jungle Tour, which included hands-on encounters with lemurs, capuchin monkeys, sloths, parrots, and emus — each one more incredible than the last. We were able to feed the stunning black jaguar and even feed the giant Galápagos tortoise, which was absolutely unforgettable. We also added the Serval cub encounter, and it completely stole our hearts. They were beyond adorable, playful, and so special to interact with up close. If you are visiting Miami, this is an absolute must-do experience. And if you live here, you will not believe that something this extraordinary exists right in our own backyard. This was, without question, the most peaceful, intimate, and meaningful animal experience we have ever had — especially with exotic animals. The care, the passion, the knowledge, and the love you feel here are unmatched. Highly, highly recommend. Unforgettable experience. Truly spectacular in every way”
