After going to the phoenix zoo we decided to try this one, GLAD we did! It was such a big park with so much activities and interaction opportunities! It was $39.00 an adult which was higher on the pay scale than normal but once you see the effort and the care and the park itself you can see why it might be expensive to upkeep such a attraction. They have such a wide variety of animals you can't really see anywhere else. The animals were active and looked happy. Water was expensive but you can bring in your own water. Some of the park rides were "Down for maintenance" and was kind of upsetting but it didn't change how much fun we had. This is a property I would invest in. We will go back in the future.
