Kind of disappointed we didnt see more animals but it could be the weather is not warm enough yet. Lots of walking without seeing but a few animals.

I can see where this would be a good day out for those with small children but as adults who've visited many zoos over the years the Phx Zoo was underwhelming at best.

Even though we were tired and foot-sore we were SO GLAD we returned that night for the Zoo Lights walk through. Stunningly beautiful and creative!!!!!!…
