Had a wonderful time at the zoo! Animals I had never seen before .. loved the Columbia section. Wasn't able to see the giraffes due to construction. Was a little disappointed about that but other than that it was a beautiful zoo..

$24.95 for adults and & $14.95 for kids. However we purchased a membership to our local zoo which has a reciprocal agreement with other zoos of which the Phoenix Zoo was one. That allowed us half-price admission. I think... More
