The Phoenix zoo is a very lively attraction for the entire family. The zoo is located at 455 N. Galvin Parkway in Phoenix, Arizona. The zoo’s phone number is (602) 273-1341. The Phoenix Zoo is home to approximately 1,400 animals including 200 species of endangered or threatened birds, mammals and reptiles from around the world. The zoo attracts many tourists visiting this desert city. The zoo has exhibits that make you feel like you are in the animals’ natural habitat. I especially enjoyed the monkies.

The Phoenix Zoo is open year-round. You can buy your tickets online. The zoo has four themed areas that lead visitors to exhibits that represent different areas in the world. These areas are the Arizona Trail, the Africa Trail, the Tropics Trail, and the Discovery/Children’s Trail. There are lots of special events at the zoo such as Starry Safari and Nights at the Zoo. You can check these events out online. Phoenix zoo offers many programs, lectures and workshops for people of all ages from children to adults. A visit to the Phoenix Zoo is sure to be a lot of fun.
