Quetzal's World

    The Amazon and Beyond exhibit at the Miami Metrozoo presents the Fantasy Theater Factory's 20-minute interactive show called Quetzal's World.  With an original script and costumed storyteller named Quetzal, a sacred bird to the Aztecs and Mayans, the audience is transported to a 'magical time and place' through stories and songs where an ecological mystery has occurred. By helping solve the mystery, the audience learns about tropical American ecology and how animals adapt. Quetzal's World is performed twice daily, at 10:30 and 11:15 a.m. weekdays and at 11:15 a.m. and 1:15 p.m. weekends and holidays at Amazon and Beyond's main stage.
