We love this zoo so much that we just purchased a membership. It has everything one could want - it has a nice layout and plenty of items to keep the kids entertained. From the jungle themed splash pad to the Children's Park and Petting Zoo. We like to go early and that is when most of the animals are out and active. The AZ heat can get pretty unbearable in the afternoon so plan to go early and bring plenty of water. You can also bring your bikes and ride through the park for a fun and energizing trip.
