Phoenix Zoo
The Phoenix Zoo is a great choice of adventure for everyone. Riding the camels was most fun for the littles!! The zoo was fun and the facility was clean.

Great experience
Beautiful zoo, very spacious. I don’t live in AZ so I was pleasantly surprised of how clean the zoo was. I’d definitely come back.

Thumbs up
It was a little hot out in the open but overall a great experience. The African animals were lovely. I really liked the giraffe. The lion looked lazy Chillin on a rock.

Excellent
The monkey's on Monkey Island were very cute and active. We ran out of time, so we didn't get to see everything. Also, getting there earlier, it won't be nap time for a lot of the animals.
