We are lucky to have such a big, great zoo here in Phoenix. I'm only deducting a star because it can be a little bit spendy, but overall, it's always been a good time here. We went with friends, during regular zoo season, and it was an entire day of excitement for the kiddos. Lots to see! We really like the gift shop, a lot of cool items to choose from, but probably as expected, that can be a little costly as well. We also went to zoo lights and that was a beautiful setup. I loved that on the water, they played music to go along with the lights. We are thinking about becoming members next season to save some money. Something to think about! Oh, and we also like the carousel! It's fun and features zoo animals!
