Lions and Tigers and Bears...ok maybe not bears, but lions and tigers and elephants and camels...the list could go on to describe the Phoenix Zoo!
I've been visiting the Phoenix Zoo since I was a kid. It has everything a zoo should offer which is plenty of animals that you can actually see. It's true to the desert environment and there are plenty of family activities including the option to ride bikes, ride a camel, visit a petting zoo and even have a party.
The Zoo also does several events throughout the year such as Zoo Lights, Zoo Brew (new name but I'm blanking) and plenty of other.
So true to a zoo, this is a great option for a family-fun weekend or a date. I've purchased a zoo membership for my sister, her husband and son before and at only $75, it was a great gift...and a tax write off since the Zoo is a non-profit!
