the baboons are most active around noon when they get fed by zoo staff
Brittany ThomasDecember 15, 2011Make sure your wife doesn't take your jacket out of the car before you leave for the Phoenix zoo... Or you might have to look like this--->
Marcia Q.November 12, 2010It can be a fulfilling experience, but not when the person is materialistic and does not enjoy beautiful sights of God's creations.- Grevy's zebra are endangered with only about 2500 living in the wild. The Phoenix Zoo participates in a species survival plan to breed zebra
Lesley SielskiSeptember 21, 2011Don't miss the Giraffe Encounter -- feed the giraffes, up close and personal!
Get the souvenir cup. 6 bucks upfront...1 every use after that.
Come check out the awesome giraffes. You can even feed them. 10-11 am and 1-2 pm
Summer feeding times @ 8:00am,10:30am, and 12:30pm. It's quite the experience!
The birds will try to swipe your 16$ lunch off the table while you eat! Come prepared for battle.
A must see! Has squirrel monkeys from central and south America. Only exhibit of its kind in north america.
Oct.: Boo at the Zoo & Howl-oween; late Nov.-early Jan.: Zoo Lights; various other events throughout the year.
Don't be afraid of the summer. Members can get in at 6 am and Yakulla Caverns is a great spot to cool off and get wet.
98.7 The PeakMay 27, 2011Lions are the largest African carnivores; basically, don't stick your hands through the fence!
Amelia Maness-GillilandNovember 12, 2010a full day of fun, fun, fun! pet the sting rays, and play in the tree house!
Chrissy ChappellJune 18, 2010Don't even THINK about going in the summer time. Also don't recommend taking your grandmother to the festival of lights at Christmas.
Phoenix Kiosk Inc.January 26, 2010Enjoy the beautiful AZ weather and check out the sleek Interactive Outdoor Kiosk out in front of the Conservation Center at the Zoo.
it was so much better than I could have imagined :-)
FYI: This check in is actually being inside the building working w the baboons...

"It is fun but the monkey's are deceptively cute. Watch your little ones. They will bite and scratch and the can Carry disease. Make sure to wash up after you leave."

"If you sit on the bench under the tree, birds will poop on your head."
