When I was 10 and my brother was 11… we had all of 15minutes in the zoo lol my parents took us after a whole day of shopping and visiting in the Phoenix area. Of course they didn’t know the times or the schedules… so they let us loose and we pretty much ran through the whole zoo lol one of the best times I’ve ever had really.. some childhood memories… I actually want to go now that I actually live here nearby but I just need to make the time. smile I go by nearly every month for barbeques and remininsce and tell myself I’ll go next week but it never happens. from my earliest memories of being here at this zoo I had a lot of fun… wasn’t too hot as I recall and we got to see a lot of the animals back when… so I guess we were there around fall time. But I want to go back now. smile I guess this is what I’ll do this weekend or this next friday on my day off smile but definitely I would have to say this is a really good place to see and visit in the Phx Tempe area.. and of course there is also a huge flea market down the road on the weekends lol
