Name Jungle Island’s newest arrivals for a chance to win a Capybara Encounter and experience the dazzling new “Nalu” show
Jungle Island, Miami’s premier adventure destination, is excited to introduce three adorable baby capybaras. These charming newcomers are sure to steal hearts as they settle into their new home.
Capybaras are the largest rodents in the world, weighing up to 150 pounds. Native to South America, these herbivores enjoy a diet of grass, fruits, and aquatic plants. Despite their size, they’re famously social and gentle, often earning the nickname “the world’s friendliest animal,” or as we like to call them, “Happy Cappys.”
To mark the occasion, Jungle Island is launching a social media contest inviting the public to help name the month-old babies. Participants can head to Jungle Island’s Instagram, find the contest post, and comment with their creative name ideas. The lucky winner will receive:
-
A Capybara Encounter (for up to four people), an enriching, up-close experience with Jungle Island’s friendly adult capybaras. (While the babies receive specialized care, this is a unique chance to connect with Jungle Island’s equally delightful adult capybaras!)
-
Four general admission tickets to Jungle Island which includes the park’s brand-new “Nalu” show, a breathtaking acrobatic performance created exclusively for Jungle Island.
The winner will be announced December 23, 2024 on Jungle Island’s Instagram account.
The new “Nalu” show at Jungle Island features acrobatic performances, enchanting jungle characters, and visually captivating scenes that unfold against a backdrop of hypnotic music and vibrant, jungle-inspired sets. Directed by Cirque du Soleil veteran Francisco Santos, “Nalu” is designed to captivate audiences of all ages and is a must-see for visitors this winter break.
Adding to the fun this winter break, Jungle Island offers a full slate of activities for families seeking adventure and value. Park admission includes the heated Jungle Splash water attraction, perfect for year-round fun; as well as the educational and entertaining Guardians of the Jungle animal show. Families can explore Treewalk Village and playgrounds, stroll through the lush tropical jungle, encounter exotic animals, and discover the Everglades habitat. For an additional cost, adventurous guests can test their acrobatic skills on ziplines and aerial courses at Treetop Trekking Miami, adding even more thrills to their day. With so much to see and do, Jungle Island is the ultimate family destination in South Florida.
