The zoo was large, there was a lot of nature... a lot of flora and fauna; however, some animal exhibits were closed or the animals were hiding (monkeys, elephants, hyenas, giraffes, and more). There was classical guitar playing across the large pond (live? Streamed in?), but it added an overall sense of peace and joy. I also enjoyed the sanctuary side of the zoo. I almost missed it. If you're looking for peace, quiet, and an escape from the chaos of life, the Phoenix Zoo is a great place to escape. :)

Not a accredited zoo! So why not I ask myself why.? Something must be wrong here.
Not up to standards. I hate to see animals in small areas for our entertainment.
They deserve a better life
In a sanctuary. Why visit a non accredited zoo?
Horrible.

The zoo was large and lots of animals. Love the winding paths. Many stops to sit on a bench and enjoy the views. Several food options throughout the zoo.

Came here to fill up part of a day while on vacation in Arizona. I do go to zoo's decent amount of time while on vacation. Overall hard to complain about the animals at the zoo. Some good experiences with the animals they had.
My main annoyance was the price of the zoo then additional cost for other things at the zoo. I can't remember what it was but they were charging $3.00 for non members to do something in the zoo. Why not just make it free? I think most people already expect to spend more than they'd like on food/drinks. But when you get in the zoo & have to pay extra for things it just makes me shake my head.
Some areas can get pretty crowded & because of the layout doesn't allow a lot of room to move around. Especially when you have large baby strollers every where.
Overall, in terms of quality it's not bad but just expect to spend some $ especially if you have a family with you.

Firstly let me say that I don’t like animals in captivity of any type. On the other hand I would probably never be able to see many of these animals without facilities such as the Phoenix zoo. It is a wonderful zoo and the keepers appear to really care able the animals and are very knowledgeable and approachable. Although I would love to see these animals running or flying free, I can see that this is an excellent facility and we’ll worth a visit.

It was amazing. I read reviews that they weren’t enough animals. However I noticed that there weren’t as many but as the sun came out, so did the animals. The camel rides were great. As well as the giraffes were great. The elephant Took its time, but it eventually came out and it was so adorable. The monkeys are hilarious. It was all a great time. All in all the zoo was wonderful.
However, we purchased our tickets on Viator And after it took our money, it wanted us to download an app for our tickets which would not download. So when we try to download it on someone else’s phone, it wouldn’t let us. It delayed our entry by 45 minutes. We had to go in to the membership department and they have to take booking/confirmation number to allow us entry. The whole thing is that it’s supposed to make it more convenient when it made it more difficult.
