I debated on a 2 or 3 star review and you can see what it ended up being...
I've heard so much over the years about Zoo Lights and was really excited to finally go. Here's the goods and bads of the Phoenix Zoo Lights...
POSITIVE: It had lights. It was outside. You go at your own pace. Some of the light set ups were pretty cool. There was a talking giraffe that you could interact with. There was a light show to music above the water. SRP gave out buy 1 get 1 free coupons.
NEGATIVE: It costs $13 a person. The line to buy tickets was rediculiously long and slow moving. The line to get in was just as bad. The lights are ok but nothing like its made out to be and there aren't nearly as many as it seems. The trail you follow isn't very long meaning the exhibit wasn't very big. The amount of money they charge 1 person for a snack is more then you could feed a whole family dinner. The employees are rude and obviously aren't the "people person" type. The slide, caresuell, zip line, and camal rides costs extra. There is not one real animal in sight.
To sum it up the experience was highly over rated, over priced and over populated! I'm glad I went so I can say "been there, done that" but Im not sure which is worse... the amount of money the adventure costed or the horrible disappointment I felt when it was over!
