Best

We bought a membership to the Phoenix zoo because we always have so much fun here.

Worst

While the Zoo is pretty good and an excellent value if you get a membership, it gets very, very hot in the summer months, and the variety of animals isn't that great. They should...

Basic membership at the zoo is a great deal, pays for itself in just 2 or 3 visits. Farm area is wonderful for younger kids. more

Membership is quite reasonable. There are tons of activities and programs for kids of different ages. The Zoo has a wide variety of attractions as well, to keep the whole family engaged year-round. Of course, during the summer in the sweltering heat, you may not want to do as much, but there are some water activities. more

WE LOVE THE PHOENIX ZOO!!!! All year long, you can go to the zoo! From the lights at Christmas to the fun activities in the summer, the Phoenix Zoo is one of Phoenix's BEST places to go with the kids! And My husband and I have gone a couple of times JUST US! Believe it or not, Mom & Dad, the Zoo is a great place for a "date". more

Editorial review from LilaGuide.com 2/17/2005

The zoo has reasonable memberships. If my kids are making a stink, it's easy to call it a day and try again later. You can also include a guest on your membership, so you can bring your spouse one time, a friend the next time, and grandma the next. Mostly the kids like the playgrounds, but they also like the farm area where they can brush the goats. more

Wasted money 12/23/2002

The worst zoo I've ever seen....poor conditions, tiny cages for wildcats, poor layout. The most enjoyable part was the bridge views upon entering. Save your admission fee and take in the views of the large fish, turtles, and birds around the entrance bridge. more

Zoo-a-Rama 10/19/2002

During the cooler months is the perfect time to visit the Phoenix Zoo. With the weather becoming nicer, the animals are more active and viewing time is extended. All ages will love the variety of animals and activities to do at the zoo. Currently "Boo at the Zoo" is the featured special. After Halloween, the annual Zoo Lights will be taking off. This event is NOT to be missed. If you have never seen it put it on your MUST see this year. While the Phoenix Zoo may not be as big as San Diego's or others it is well maintained and has sufficient animals, trails and activities to keep a family busy on a full day outing. more

Kind of a dull zoo... 10/3/2002

While the Zoo is pretty good and an excellent value if you get a membership, it gets very, very hot in the summer months, and the variety of animals isn't that great. They should have more indoor exhibits, considering the heat. The food is overpriced and not very good. Zoo Lights is GREAT, but bring back the rope lights on the pathways!! Pros: Zoo Lights, Memberships Cons: Too few animals, Food is yucky more

WONDERFUL!!!!! 9/4/2002

My daughter thought that it ws so much fun to go to the zoo. She loved to mile the fake cow!!! The childrens petting zoo and the play ground are great. I loved being here as well it kinda takes you away from everything for the day. The sprinklers in the middle of the zoo are a great way for the kdis to cool off after all the walking. I can't wait to go back!!! Pros: good parking, easy to follow map Cons: bathrooms far an few, no military discount more

Lions and tigers and bears! Oh my! 8/6/2002

My kids and I love how the exhibits are designed for ultimate viewing of the animals. Going to the zoo is a great way to spend the day. And if you've never tried Zoo Lights at Christmas, I highly recommend it. It's a real treat! Pros: family friendly, great exhibits, nice gift shop Cons: too hot in the summer more

It is a great place for kids 11 and under. For us older folks, be sure to check out the giraffes first, all the other animals sleep, probably because it is so warm out. more
