Phoenix Zoo: Phoenix Zoo
  • Tip Rating:
  • I am not a big zoo lover. I love animals but I prefer to see them in there natural environment free. Phoenix zoo has lots of animals and most are in big enclosures. It is split up into different themes such as the african section, giraffe pictured below. galapogos tortaises, baboons, over 1300 animals in total admission for adults was $14 look out for discount coupons in the botanical gardens. There are several attractions all in one spot in Papago Park Its well worth buying an annual pass. Basic pass is $50 for 1 adult (named), an additional adult is $15 (guest), you may add upto 2 guests on the basic, you also get 2 free entrance tickets as well as unlimited access to the zoo, so it doesnt tak many visits to get your money back

    Phoenix Zoo: Animal Encounters
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Phoenix Zoo is "one of the Nation's leading private non-profit zoological parks and home to more than 1,300 animals. Open every day!" The parking lot is very comfortable with a lot of space! The Zoo makes a huge area with Safari Trains, cozy places with benches for just sitting around and relax, then there are many gifts stores, options to rent strollers or wheechairs, many dining options such as "Savanna Grill", "Cafe Lobo" with Mexican dishes, and "Crossroads" with fresh pizzas and Italian subs. Events at the Zoo are i.e. the Baboon, Elephant, Squirrel Monkeys, and Giraffe Feeding. I loved the most being in the huge bird cages where the visiters can walk through or just sit there and listen to the birds' "talk". We actually walked all the offered trails such as the "Africa Trail" with Meerkats, Baboon, Oryx, Lion, Rhino, Tiger, Bighorn Sheeps and Warthog, then we've been at the "Savanna Trail" with Giraffe, Eland, Zebra, and Flamingos, then we've been at the "Main Lake" with Spider Monkey (Napoleon..) and Tropical Flights, then we've been on the "Tropics Trail" with Galapagos Tortoises, Monkey Village, Bears, Orangutan, and Elephant. We missed the "Arizona Trail" with Coyotes, Mexican Wolves, Mountain Lions. And the most we've enjoined the Otters! Visiting this Zoo is very fun for a day trip with or without children! Yet I thought the cages looked rather small seized (except those of the birds).

    Phoenix Zoo: The Phoenix Zoo is MORE than a Zoo...
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Phoenix Zoo is not just an ordinary Zoo, it's a place for the whole family to spend a day. They have programs for kids, teens, adults. http://www.phoenixzoo.org If your into antiquing...Glendale is the place to visit. Just west of Phoenix, Glendale is the antique capital of ...something...Downtown Glendale is a historic district with all kinds of quaint little shops and bed and breakfasts. Mountains are abundant...here in the 'valley.'(hence the term... valley) Squaw Peak(renamed Piestewa... i think it should have been renamed "peace peak" and "peace parkway" ... but hey, who am I, right...) and South Mountain are popular and nice scenic hikes located right in Phoenix. There are several mountains with all different levels of hiking available. A mixture nature amongst the bustling 'city' of Phoenix. And don't forget that Arizona is where the lowell observatory in Flagstaff, where they discovered the, now "un"planet of Pluto. This place IS AWESOME with hands on interactive activities for ALL AGES and a fun little play with audience participation can be attended. They also have a midnight viewing through the 24 inch Clark Telescope... the very telescope used to map the moon, and by astronauts before every moon venture!!! It is privately owned check out the website... http://www.lowell.edu Another Observatory on the other end of the state in Tucson is the Kitt Peak Observatory... http://www.noao.edu/kpno

    Phoenix Zoo: The Phoenix Zoo
  • Tip Rating:
  • This zoo is quite different from many of the zoos on the east coast of the USA. This zoo covers much more wide open space and is a joy to walk through. It was really interesting to see some of the more 'local' animals, such as the mountain goats. More photos from in the zoo available here: http://public.fotki.com/seth0919/phoenix_zoo/

    Phoenix Zoo: Take Bus to The Zoo
    The zoo of here lays emphasis on the precious animal reproduction as well as San Diego, too. The individual which increased here comes back through particularly Arabian- Orix slowly in the desert of the Arabian Peninsula. (But, I heard that the number of crowds who returned to Arabia decreased now. It is worry......)

    Phoenix Zoo: !Ooz eht, I mean, The Zoo!
    You can either visit two different Zoo in Phoenix, one is located in the Papago park, also home of the Desert Botanical Garden and the Hole in the Rock, where you can find a partial nice view of the city... The other Zoo is the Wildlife Zoo, located in the very west of the city, you will find couple interesting difference, both options seems to offer something else to do, but Phoenix Zoo is definately bigger and is home of a larger number of species. I found they do their homework by taking care of them and allow, in most of the cases, enjoy a refreshing oasis in the middle of this desert.
