Monkey Jungle is a 30-acre (12 ha) primatarium and zoological park located in South Miami, Florida. Established in 1933 by Joseph DuMond for the exhibition and study of endangered monkeys in semi-natural habitats after releasing 6 Java Macaques into a subtropical forest, the park is now home to over 300 primates.

As the tagline, "Where humans are caged and monkeys run wild!," suggests, the primary experience at Monkey Jungle has guests travel through the park on a caged walkway while different primates roam semi-freely in a natural habitat. Monkey Jungle is one of just a few protected habitats for primates in the United States, and the only one that the public can explore. Guests can embark on trips through a Southeast Asian Wild Monkey Pool & Trail, the Cameroon Gorilla Forest, the Amazonian Rainforest, and visit tropical birds in Wings of Love. Monkey Jungle also provides a home to other animals such as: Lemurs, sloths, turtles, tortoises, and a Rhino iguana.

Monkey Jungle is not accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums. The park has scheduled tours offered three times a day, but attendees can tour on their own.

In 1933, aspiring animal behaviorist Joseph DuMond traveled to South Florida and released six Java Monkeys into a dense tropical forest. Unable to get the government funding that was needed to study these primates, DuMond came up with another idea: open the park to the public. Due to the Java Monkeys being territorial, and the newly introduced wandering guests, the monkeys frequently attacked guests. Not wanting to enclose the monkeys, DuMond came up with the most notable feature of Monkey Jungle: the caging of the guests.

A 1994 archaeological dig led by archaeologist Robert S. Carr unearthed some important and interesting discoveries in naturally occurring sinkholes on Monkey Jungle's property. Fossils aged over 10,000 years old were found at the site, including those from the American Lion, Dire Wolf, Pleistocene horse, and camel. It is one of the largest of such findings anywhere in Florida.

In 1977, King, the sole adult male Western Lowland Gorilla at Monkey Jungle, was the face of a campaign to get him relocated to the Atlanta Zoo, where they have a program that re-socializes gorillas. The campaign grew to be so massive, that it garnered the attention and subsequent involvement of famed primatologist Jane Goodall. In 2001, Monkey Jungle built a much larger enclosure for King.

In 2017, after Hurricane Irma impacted many parts of Florida, four former employees accused Monkey Jungle of animal abuse and mistreatment. The former employees provided photographic evidence of terrible enclosure conditions for Mei, an orangutan that was 32-years old at the time. Pictures of Mei and her enclosure featured rotten foliage and feces all throughout the enclosure as well as on Mei herself. They also provided pictures of a large, oozing, injury on King. One former keeper also said that they encouraged the zoo to allow different healing ointments to be applied to King as he would repeatedly wipe off the ointment that was being used, but the suggestion went largely ignored. The former keeper also stated that besides the corrected enclosure size issue, King was in relatively good spirits. Monkey Jungle soon responded, claiming that the former employees took advantage of the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, and continued on to give their story as to why the conditions were as they were, as well as the different ways that they care for every animal within the park, especially those talked about in the allegations.

Along with the ability to walk by and view each area of the park on jungle trails, Monkey Jungle also offers individual experiences and presentations personalized to each area/exhibit.
