Exploring the Zoo
View Full Album
I am so lucky that though I really don’t know many people here in AZ that I do have one good friend from high school and college who’s family moved here while she was on her mission so that she came back to her family here instead. I had a great day Wednesday. She invited Christian and I to join her, her sister, their kids, and her mom to the zoo. We had a great time!
This zoo is rated one of the top 5 zoos for kids in US. They are doing some construction that should be done soon which is good because I’m intrigued to see the fisher price petting zoo area. It looks amazing (they’re fixing the water line so it’s closed off in that area).
There are also a few different children’s playground areas and a children’s walk where there are some gorgeous statues of various animals.
I was really impressed with the openness of the habitats that the animals were able to roam about in. It was beautiful.
Isn’t this area for the monkey’s beautiful? If you look close, you can see the monkey swinging from the rope.
You can also come up very close to these wallabies though they don’t want you to touch them. It was amazing to be so close.
Checkout this area for the African herbivores…it was so incredible to see them all roaming freely among each other.
One thing about the zoo during this month in AZ…it was HOT! It is great that this zoo has a splash area for the kids to play in. Christian had a blast in there!
Thank you for inviting us Sherrada, we really enjoyed it!
