In Short – Wild beasts, including endangered species from around the world call this Sonoran spot home. See anteaters, giraffes, orangutans and the usual lions, tigers and bears. But don't miss the Forest of Uco exhibit, which authentically re-creates a South American rainforest and features a couple of endangered spectacled bears. Pedestrian thoroughfares include the Desert Trail, the Tropics Trail, the Africa Trail, the Arizona Trail and the Children's Trail. The zoo's exhibit of things that go "boo" in the Sonoran desert night is almost as popular as the petting zoo for kids.

This is a "Zoo" ????
by northerndynasty
Ok, clearly the writers of previous reviews are desperately hungry for entertainment. I just went through this "zoo" yesterday, and I found it nothing more than a bunch of displays with 1 or less animals in them. The animals always huddled towards the back of the areas making them completely unviewable. I guess it was a zoo of Rocks n Sticks.
Furthermore, the prices for food (this isn't a suprise) is not just a ripoff, it's nothing short of thievery! No one item of food was worth what they wanted.
Plain and simple - go find somewhere else to entertain yourself...
- Pros: Water fountains were free...
- Cons: Everything other than the free water fountains....
Great family fun!!!!

It was fun before you walk the entire thing though (its huge) you might want to rent one of their family cycles they hold the entire family. You'll be able to peddle through the whole thing. Take the kids in swimsuits they have a fun water area to keep cool!
Def. Worth the trip!
- Pros: kids water area, family bicycles, its huge
- Cons: you'll need an entire day if your walking it.
