Outdoor adventures. Lifelong memories, That’s Zoo We Are!
Since 1962, the Phoenix Zoo has inspired and motivated guests from across the world to care for the natural world. Nestled on 125 acres within beautiful Papago Park the Zoo is a wondrous place of curiosity, imagination and discovery. Featuring over 3,000 animals, including Bornean orangutans, Sumatran tigers, Komodo dragons, Masai giraffes, and many more - it is like no other place in the Valley.

With outdoor cafes, shops, lush gardens, water landscapes and exciting up-close animal encounters like Stingray Bay, your visit will be memorable for the entire family. Other not to be missed activities include Safari Cruiser and Endangered Species Carousel.

Aa a non-profit, the Zoo relies solely on admissions, memberships, donations and sponsorships to continue conservation initiatives, educational programs and the care of our animals. So join us today and help support this unforgettable Valley gem!
