I hold many fond memories of the Phoenix Zoo.
We've been a zoo member family for a long time. My first homecoming dance in high school was held in the gorgeous ballroom here. I remember back in the day coming and watching Ruby the elephant paint.
My favorite thing about this zoo is that it's non-profit. I've heard rumors that they don't treat their animals very well which breaks my heart but honestly the animals here seem a lot happier than animals I've seen at other zoos.
Zoolights is always a fun family event too. We look forward to it every year.
