Nestled on 126 acres within beautiful Papago Park, the Phoenix Zoo is a wondrous place of curiosity, imagination and discovery. There is always more to explore with over 3,000 animals including tigers, flamingos, rhinos, cheetahs, Komodo dragons and countless others.
Take in the serenity of the Savanna as docile giraffes glide across the plains. Roam through Predator Passage and see our rambunctious lion cubs play as the sun rises over their habitat. Explore the tropical Forest of Uco to catch a glimpse of Auggie the Andean bear taking a dip in his watering hole. THAT’S ZOO WE ARE.
But we are also SO MUCH more.
