Extremely nice and well maintained zoo. Very big. Exhibits were well taken care of. We loved the little desert walk through. It was very reasonably priced. I think that is probably one of the best zoos I have ever been to. It was easy to navigate. Flamingos are my favorite and they had a really great exhibit with lots of birds! Hole in the rock was very close almost within walking distance if it wasn't too hot. After the zoo we drove over and climbed up and were in awe over the view. Well worth it and I'm so glad we stopped.
Really enjoyed this zoo not too packed and definitely the petting area was our favorite especially for the kids. The best part was the camel ride which our little one got on twice on how much she enjoyed it. Would highly recommend to buy tickets only because to buy tickets at the place is a very long line. We just went and showed our tickets and we were let through with no problem. Overall very good expiration for your little ones. Will be back again.
Me and my family a group of about 13 of us went out for zoo lights and it was amazing. The lights were beautiful and well put together it was something to see for the whole family young and old. It was night and it rained the day before so the animals were not out at all but with the dinosaurs exhibit and all the lights it was still so much to see. They now serve margaritas ???? that can make for a even better adult experience.
We have always loved to be around animals in the Phoenix Zoo does not disappoint. On our first visit we got a membership and love to go the hour early before the heat really hits. This was part of my birthday week to go see the giraffes. There is hardly anybody there early in the morning during the heat. In the summer they open as earlier. It’s a great way to take a long walk and also support and care for these animals.
Absolutely wonderful place to visit in the right weather! Phoenix summertime it would only be first thing in the morning. Christmas time and zoo lights is something spectacular. There is a lot to see, a massive area, including a playground for kids, carousel, fountains, farm animals to pet, a souvenir store and even a hall to rent out for birthday parties! I highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance in order to avoid lines. Tickets are being scanned and then it's a fast entrance. They could cost a little less though, but it's still worth it. Animals are being taken care of and kids have an opportunity to see them from close by.
