1) Zoo Miami 

12400 SW 152nd St, Miami, FL 33177

Are you ready to post snaps on your socials that are bound to scream "Roar!" louder than a hungry lion?

Look no further — Zoo Miami's got you covered!

A 750-acre wildlife paradise that's both Florida's biggest zoo and the only subtropical one in the continental U.S., Zoo Miami boasts open-air exhibits that'll transport you from the Everglades to the Amazon, Africa, Australia, and beyond.

We're talking about snapping selfies with over 2,500 creatures, from cuddly koalas to majestic tigers (including those ultra-rare White Bengal Tigers!) and gentle giants like elephants. 

Don't worry; they're all chilling in massive enclosures, which means the chances of you being eaten alive during your photo-op is close to zero (or is it?), complete with lush jungles, forests, and trails surrounded by moats — like a real-life Snapchat filter, but way cooler!

But wait, there's more! 

Zoo Miami also has a world-class aviary, over 1,000 species of trees and plants, and even the Gold Coast Railroad Museum with its collection of vintage train cars. 

Talk about a #ThrowbackThursday bonanza!

With so many Insta-worthy spots, you'll be updating your grid for days. 

Who's ready to break the internet, Zoo Miami style?

2) Kendall Indian Hammocks Park 

11395 SW 79th St, Miami, FL 33173

Hitting the 'burbs for a nature fix? 

Come to Kendall Indian Hammock Park and enjoy epic greenery, fun times, and Insta-gold!

Yes, this park has it all — three lit softball fields, a soccer pitch greener than your favorite matcha latte, 36 holes of disc golf (because regular golf is so last season), and a massive 14,000-square-foot skate park.

You'll also find five picnic shelters for your squad, a deck shaded by live oaks (hello, perfect lighting), fitness equipment for every level, and two playgrounds for the little ones.

Meanwhile, for the nature squad, Kendall Indian Hammocks Park offers prime birdwatching, trails that'll make your followers swoon, and a 32-acre nature preserve for a real-life filter.

Plus, it's a legit tropical hardwood hammock in Greater Miami's backyard!

It's giving Love Park and Embarcadero vibes – like Mother Nature and an amusement park had a baby, but better!

So whether you're channeling your inner athlete or nature explorer or just need a killer backdrop for your next TikTok, Kendall Indian Hammock Park's got the goods!

We're talking about warm woods that'll make you feel like you're chilling inside a fancy wine barrel and a menu filled with American classics with a twist that'll have you reaching for your phone before your fork. 

And if you need more convincing, picture this: slow-roasted pork that falls off the bone, short ribs that's been catching Zs for 24 hours, and a cowgirl bone-in ribeye that's ultimately beef goals.

Oh, and did we mention this place is more photogenic than your favorite influencer?
