Survivor Ultimate Fan Café opens at Jungle Island in Miami, bringing challenges, themed dining, merchandise

A limited-time ‘Survivor’ fan activation arrives in Miami

An immersive, “Survivor”-themed pop-up known as the Survivor Ultimate Fan Café is opening in Miami at Jungle Island, 1111 Parrot Jungle Trail. The experience is scheduled to begin on January 29, 2026, and is being presented as a limited-time installation tied to the franchise’s milestone 50th season.

The project is a collaboration between the event platform Bucket Listers and CBS. Organizers describe the concept as a themed destination that combines interactive gameplay elements, food and drink service, photo setups and retail merchandise in a single timed- प्रवेश/visit format.

What visitors can expect inside

The Miami installation is designed to replicate familiar visual and competitive motifs from the long-running reality competition series. The format centers on a 90-minute reservation window that includes entry and a food-and-beverage credit for use during the visit.

• Interactive activities: A mix of physical and mental challenges, adapted for indoor play.
• Set recreations and photo areas: Installations include a Tribal Council-style fire pit, a voting confessional booth and a “Winner’s Wall.”
• On-site retail: Exclusive “Survivor” merchandise is planned to be available for purchase.

Menu and beverage program

Food and drinks are positioned as a core component of the experience. The menu is described as Polynesian-fusion and is credited to chef Becky Brown, known for television competition appearances. Listed items include Sole Survivor Ceviche, New Era Laksa Noodles, Campfire Carnitas Tacos and a Double Elimination Burger, alongside desserts and kid-friendly options.

The beverage lineup is expected to include specialty cocktails and mocktails, plus beer and wine by the glass. Group offerings referenced by organizers include shareable pitchers with “Survivor”-themed names such as Jungle Juice and Hidden Immunity Punch.

How the Miami run fits into a broader rollout

The Miami pop-up follows a previous run of the Survivor Ultimate Fan Café in Boston in 2025, where the concept paired interactive challenges with themed dining and watch-party programming. The Miami edition is similarly framed as a fan gathering point timed around the launch of the show’s 50th season, which is scheduled to premiere on February 25, 2026.

The Miami activation is being promoted as a way for fans to engage with “Survivor” through hands-on challenges, themed environments and a structured food-and-drink experience within a timed reservation model.

Ticketing and logistics

Tickets are planned to be sold through Bucket Listers, with access structured around reservation slots. The event is being marketed as limited-time, though organizers have not provided a public end date in the materials reviewed.
