The phoenix zoo is a fun place for kids. If you go during the summer, make sure you get there when they open at 7:00 am or else or the animals will be hiding from the heat. The animal exhibits are great and allow for easy viewing most of the time. Our favorite is the Giraffe exhibit. They also have a hands on area for the kids with a petting zoo. The kids love the petting zoo and playground. For those really hot days, they also have a splash fountain. I would say that this is one of the better zoos that we have been to. During August, the also have summer nights - when you can visit the zoo in the evening. This is also a fun experience for the kids when the sun goes down.
