Zoo in and near Phoenix, AZ

Pricier than PHX Zoo, but this leads to smaller crowds and more access to the animals and exhibits. Worth the extra cash. Also, Luke Air Force Base is next door, so there’s no shortage of fighter jets overhead, which I viewed as a bonus.

I've been going to the Phoenix Zoo for 60 years and as always, it was terrific!!

Absolutely loved this place. It’s a true gem we have it in Arizona. The owner is so knowledgeable about alpacas , he shared a lot of eye opening info and our 2.5 year old daughter loved it there ! Great memories. Would love to come back! Highly recommend anyone (with kids especially!)
