Overpriced compared to the Phoenix Zoo. Especially when you add in the fact that every little extra thing you may want to do there is extra. Each "ride" is $6/person to $15/person. Add that to the $40 per person the get in and it adds up quickly. The variety of animals is neat and being able to see lions, giraffes and fish was neat especially on the west side. If you do decide to go be prepared to get dirty. All of the pathways are dirt, also keep that in mind for strollers. We probably won't be back but it was okay to go once. I can see why it is not very crowded.
