This zoo is so much better than Phoenix Zoo! You can easily see most the animals & get closer to them than you can in the Phoenix zoo! Some of the enclosures seemed a little small for some of the animals, mostly the reptiles but other than that everything is great! A little pricey but if you consider that this zoo is non profit it makes it all worth it! I would consider this zoo 100% over Phoenix zoo where you rarely get to actually see the animals. And I would plan all day here because it is HUGE
