I had an OK time at the Phoenix Zoo today. My biggest complaint is not necessarily the zoos fault.... but it sucks that its so warm/hot here that all of the animals sleep, and/or are inactive during the day, so it's rather boring to see exhibit after exhibit of sleeping non active animals.
The grounds are beautiful. The "add-ons" are pretty reasonable price wise. Zip lining is $10, camel ride is $5 per person, and the paddle boats are $10 for 20 minutes. All in all pretty fair.
I can't say I left with a really "favorite" attraction...which is sad. Usually I do.
Hotdogs are $6. Not much else to eat (that I saw).
