  I was very surprised at this desert zoo. The exhibits were very nice. Love the Savanna right as you walk in. Fantastic giraffe feeding station. Well worth the visit.  more »

  Our Grandchildren totally enjoyed all the animals at the Phoenix Zoo! From the porcupine who looked just like Ash on the movie Sing, to the camel ride. They are asking if they can go back!!  more »

  The zoo is a great place to spend the day. The animals are fun to look at, and there is a lot to learn. The food is also really great. They have a lot of cool events, and the membership is very affordable. My favorite part is the sting ray bay which costs a little extra, but it's worth every penny. Ellie is the friendliest ray.

  This was the first zoo I went to as a kid and it's been a couple decades since my last visit so it's nice to see everything has changed. The exhibits are good sized for the type of animals in them. There's plenty of shaded, rest areas and water stops for the humans. I especially enjoy how you walk in a circle to get to the exit instead of having to back track like at some zoo's. They are definitely at the top of my list with zoo's we've been to.
