Great for all ages. Recommend buying tickets online in advance. AND they allow you to bring in water bottles and coolers making them a great value.

By far the best part of going to the zoo this time was the dinosaurs in the desert trail. My son is a dinosaur lover and has well over 400 of them and so we literally walked the trail 4 times in a row lol the animatronics is phenomenal and tremendously well done and that trail is definitely 10 star worthy!! 💖 ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

I attended for the zoo lights, the park was saturated with people, apparently they had 2 hospital employees there and the regular public, someone told us that there was over 13,000 people there, it was a mad house and honestly it felt unsafe. With that amount of people the bathrooms got overwhelmed, pathways over crowded and just not a good experience. I definitely got reminded why we have not been there in many years and there be many more before I ever consider going back.

This is by far the best zoo we have been to. When we lived in Scottsdale, our family had a membership and went often. My son regularly talks of the zoo and how much he misses it! The conservation work is impressive and it is such an amazing experience for kids and adults. When we visit AZ we will be back! My son had his 3rd birthday here and it was really well done.

Our family really likes this zoo. It's a nice walk when the weather is breezy. During the summer bring plenty of water!! The camel rides are a great experience.

Certain times of the year I'm at the zoo walking every day. Its safe and I can quickly get 10,000 steps in and enjoy every minute! Every member of the staff including the volunteers are knowledgeable and they take the time to answers any questions that you have. I've been coming to the zoo since they opened in the 60's. It just gets better and better! I love Zoo Lights!
