| - I can't believe how huge this place is!
Price: $34/adult
Time to walk through: 4 hours (and that's looking at everything and not attending any shows)
Having been to the Phoenix Zoo, I didn't think that there was any place that could compare. I LOVE the Phoenix Zoo, and didn't really know what to expect coming here. Let me just say, it's pretty awesome. The exhibits are close and personal. One of the coolest parts is the giraffe exhibit: you can feed them up close and they pull out their long tongues and eat basically right off your hand.
Very few of the exhibits were "under construction" and the staff, for the most part was very friendly. It was pretty funny, though, in the aquarium section, there was this girl in her 20's working there on one of the open displays and was instructing people not to touch certain things, but she was on her phone the WHOLE TIME and would basically scoffingly look at customers and sharply say "no" to "Can we pick them up?" ... "Can YOU pick them up?" ... and she would reply: "No...there is a picture over there."...and then she would go back to her phone. I honestly laughed about it, she might of just been having a bad day, but it was pretty bad. Luckily all the other employees were pretty friendly haha.
As you can see, I gave this 5 stars. It's a great place to go to. Just take some quarters so you can get some feed to give to the giraffes and also the goats/lamas at the petting zoo. That was my one regret :) Enjoy!
