As mothers, I know you will agree with me that our children are the best gifts we have ever received. Although we do our best not to spoil them by giving in to all their whims and wants, we still do shower them with gifts every once in a while. These may range from sweet treats bought at the corner store on our way home to expensive toys or gadgets given on birthdays. These may bring wide smiles on their faces but nothing beats a gift that they can treasure for a lifetime. Instead of buying them knickknacks that end up in the trash after a couple of months, why don’t you save up instead for a memorable gift of experience – a trip to another country, a visit to a world-renowned museum, or classes to learn a new skill.
One of the places I dream of taking my little princess is Jungle Island Miami which is home to many rare animals including the world’s largest cat(Hercules the Liger), extremely rare twin orangutans(Peanut & Pumpkin), and the world’s only trained Cassowary(Mama Cass). Naturally, I would want to go on a VIP Safari Tour and have a Private Animal Encounter. These entail additional expense though so we may have to just stick with the exhibits, attractions, and tours that come with the regular packages. With 1.35 miles of winding covered trails, I’m certain though that we’d have the time of our lives discovering many varieties of flora and fauna in Jungle Island.
If you’re also considering taking your family to Jungle Island, make sure you don’t miss these attractions: the Winged Wonders, Dr. Wasabi’s Wild Adventures, the Wild Encounter Show, and the Manu Encounter. There’s also a Petting Farm in the Children’s Area which young children would certainly enjoy. If the heat gets too much for you, cool off in Jungle Island’s very own private beach – La Playa. Don’t miss the special exhibits as well, especially the rare Liger. This may be the only time your kids will get to see a cross between a lion and a tiger.
Gifts like these may cost more than your children’s favorite toys but the one-of-a-kind experience they will have is definitely priceless. Besides, there are now plenty of discount coupons and group deals that make trips and tours more affordable. There’s really no excuse not to give your children that special gift of experience.
