Hospitality Internships

Zoo Miami’s Hospitality Internship is a one-of-a-kind internship for those interested in pursuing careers in hospitality, tourism, or attraction operations. Interns will develop skills in customer service, problem-solving, and operational management while gaining a deeper understanding of how this impacts the visitor experience and drives business results. During this program, participants receive a comprehensive overview across various guest service areas, including admissions, rides, guest experience, rentals, and operations. The exact day-to-day work interns complete will depend on the role they’re assigned, but each role is fun and rewarding in its own way. Successfully completing this program allows Hospitality Interns to build upon their resume and expand their professional network. Additionally, Hospitality Interns are providing a service to the Miami-Dade community as we work to build an eco-conscious community who supports local and global conservation initiatives.
