| - It was a beautiful Saturday in Phoenix. The weather was cool and crisp, the sky was clear. It really was a perfect day to take a walk and be outside, so I invited my husband to the zoo.
Before we went there, we stopped at our favorite taco place, Guedos, and with bellies full we set off.
It's been a long time since I've gone to the zoo. Probably because my life is like a zoo, I really don't want to go there to visit! I think the last zoo I visited was the San Diego Zoo about 5 years ago.
We had a fabulous time. The animals were out, we got to walk around in the beautiful natural setting, and enjoy each other's company. My favorite animals were the meerkats and the elephants. They had elephants there that are older than I am! No wonder they have so many wrinkles!
We spent about 4 hours there and had a fabulous time. We thought it was worth the $14 we paid per person to get in.
I do agree with previous reviews. We didn't buy food there, as there was no way I was going to pay big bucks for typical zoo food that isn't really good for you anyway. We did pay $2.50 a bottle for water and soda. Best thing for a family is to bring your own.
Anyway, the Phoenix Zoo is a must see on a cool day. In the summer they open at 7, so you should be able to enjoy the morning coolness.
Enjoy!
