The Phoenix Zoo offers a diverse animal collection and educational experiences in a desert setting. Visitors appreciate the well-maintained grounds and the variety of exhibits, including the popular Orangutan habitat and the African Trail. The zoo's conservation efforts and focus on endangered species are commendable. However, some guests note that the zoo can get quite hot during summer months, and certain areas may benefit from additional shade. The size of the zoo is considerable, which can be tiring for some visitors, especially families with young children. While most find the admission price reasonable, a few consider it slightly high. The zoo's special events, such as ZooLights during the holiday season, are well-received. Overall, the Phoenix Zoo provides a good balance of entertainment and education, making it a worthwhile destination for animal enthusiasts and families alike.
