Jungle Island Holiday Discount For Miami Residents

Hey all you Miamians!  Show proof of your Miami residency and get reduced entry to Jungle Island this holiday weekend.

The regular entry fee is $27.95 for adults.  This Saturday, Sunday and Monday all Miami residents can get in for only $10 each.  Cool Deal!

In addition to their regular attractions (and there's nothing ordinary about them!) they're having a Labor Day Weekend Brunch each of the three days as well.  Can you say sweet? (and yummy!)

Jungle Island is the new name for what we knew as Parrot Jungle.  Have you visited them at their new home yet?  Isn't it time you did?  This is a great opportunity!  I may just run into you there.

Missy, I am going to take this opportunity to visit their new location myself!  Parrot Jungle moved to this new location a few years back and I haven't visited.  Now they changed their name and throw in a great discount.  It's time to go.  =)

Sarah - I cut Nicky out of this one.  LOL  Shhhh... it'll be our little secret.  You're sweet.  Thank you.

Cyndee - thank you!  They got a new name, I got a new picture.  Change is good.  I'll be working Sat & Sun, but Monday's a treat... I'm giving myself the day off!

Beth - you mean Jungle Island, right?  LOL  How many decades were they called Parrot Jungle?  They can't expect us to get this new name right away.  =)

Posted by Pinecrest | Coral Gables| Maggie Dokic, SFR (Prudential Florida Realty) over 3 years ago

I Love love Love that new picture Maggie.  That is exactly what you look like, too.  There are a few chicks around here that could update their graduation portaits, like now! 

You look great!

Chris, I only look like this when I have a date and straighten my hair.  LOL  Otherwise my unruly hair gets pinned up on top of my head.  By the way, you, Nick and Ines were the last dates I had =)

Thanks for your unwavering support!

Maggie,

This sounds like a fantastic deal, $10.00 is worth it! I love your new picture, you are beautiful! :)

I want to go!!

Looks like a great place... my son has already been there with out of town family

You changed your profile photo! We went to Parrot Jungle earlier. Tristan loves birds.Katerina

Maggie, I would have loved to take my kids to Parrot Jungle, but it is going to cost me a lot more than just the entry ticket price. Love your new picture Maggie, you are for sure a warm and beautiful lady.
Posted by Camarillo CA Real Estate Agent/ Mana Tulberg (805 County Real Estate) over 3 years ago

About the picture - Ines took it of Nick M. and I at our first meeting.  I need to pay her royalties!  I have an appointment at the board for a real business portrait next month.  It's about time.

Teri - I'm working most of the weekend, but I've decided Monday I will take advantage of our lovely Miami weather and Jungle Island. =)

Neal - did you chaperone?  I try to go on as many trips with the kiddies as possible.

Bob - was it the title that made you think that?  =)  Let's go get Chris and eat and shop for shoes.

Suzanne - I can afford it now, even times 3.  LOL  Thanks.

David - I really am shooting for Monday.  If you find yourself and the family with a few extra hours come on down!

Katerina - the birds are definitely a highlight of the trip.  I have 2 parrots myself and the bigger one made so much noise yesterday as I worked from home that I had to apologize to the agent on the phone as I took the call outside.  They're very loud little critters. 

Mana - I can't spring for airfare but we could probably fix you up a place to stay!  Miami's beautiful. =)

Maggie- We used to have a white cockatoo, he was so loud but he was potty trained. One of my buyers gave him to me and the kids. He was so much fun but he chewed up our door jams! We lost him because he got out one day and flew away and I think someone stole him because he always came back home. Katerina
Posted by Nestor & Katerina Gasset Realtors® Wellington Florida Luxury Homes (International Properties and Investments, Inc.) over 3 years ago
awwww Katerina, that's sad.  These birds live really long lives (30 years or so?) so it's quite possible for them to be with us for many, many years.  I'm so sorry about yours.
Posted by Pinecrest | Coral Gables| Maggie Dokic, SFR (Prudential Florida Realty) over 3 years ago
Looks like fun Maggie!  Hope you have a blast!
Posted by Chris Tesch College Station, Texas Real Estate (RE/MAX Bryan College Station) over 3 years ago

Hi Maggie,

Looks like a good time for a great price. I love it when you can do an entire family event at an affordable price. I'm always looking for family entertainment without breaking the bank. This should be popular for Floridians.

Ditto on the fab photo.

Posted by Thesa Chambers, Principal Broker Licensed in Oregon, with (Prudential NW Properties Sunriver) over 3 years ago

Chris - thanks.  I'm looking forward to it!

Lynda - affordable family gatherings are always welcome here too!  Thanks for stopping by and your lovely compliment =)

Posted by Pinecrest | Coral Gables| Maggie Dokic, SFR (Prudential Florida Realty) over 3 years ago
Thesa - you were commenting at the same time I was replying.  Yes, it's doubly sweet when they give the locals a discount.  It seems we're the ones who rarely visit our local attractions.  Thanks!
Posted by Pinecrest | Coral Gables| Maggie Dokic, SFR (Prudential Florida Realty) over 3 years ago

Maggie,

Jungle Island sounds like a fun time in Miami.  The 168 foot water slide would be a blast I am sure. 

Posted by Rita Taylor | Sanford NC Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Sanford North Carolina (Century 21 Southern Realty) over 3 years ago
Maggie, that looks like a good deal, it is nice that they are willing to do something like that for the local community.

Maggie - What a fun day and a great price, Hope you are able to take your children and have a fun weekend! Go for the water slide - my favorite! I agree - love the new pic - but had a hard time finding you.
Posted by Indianapolis Real Estate | Paula Henry (Red Door Real Estate) over 3 years ago

George - they'll probably throw in an upgrade annual pass on the way out too.  =)  I may take them up on it.

Bob - I'm hungry every morning.  The offer to go get Chris still stands =)

Lysa - you're not that far.  I'd love it if you joined us!

Stephanie - I have fond childhood memories of them.  I'm looking forward to the visit.

Paula - I did those slides as a kid.  I'm a bonafide chicken now.  Look for another picture change mid-September.  I'll stick with that one for a while.  Sorry to make you play Where's Waldo with me!

Posted by Pinecrest | Coral Gables| Maggie Dokic, SFR (Prudential Florida Realty) over 3 years ago
FABULOUS!!!  Love the discount and the idea that it's especially for MIAMI RESIDENTS!!  It's nice to have access to all the special deals and information for Miami!!  You are a gem in Miami for residents and real estate!  GO MAGGIE!!

Maggie - I love your new picture too!!  When did you have time to get that taken?
Posted by Real Estate Specialist | Brandon, FL | Susie Roscoe (Signature Realty Associates) over 3 years ago
Susie - thank you!  I didn't have time really.  That's a picture Ines Hegedus-Garcia took of me and Nick M. at our first meeting a couple of weeks ago.  I cut Nick out for my profile!  LOL
