In addition to thrilling zip lines, the park also includes challenging obstacle courses and is home to a wide variety of animals like lemurs, sloths, flamingoes and more.

 

After time at Treetop Trekking Miami, a 30-minute drive south takes you to Pinecrest Gardens, a hidden gem in the heart of South Florida.
