Founded in 1962, the Phoenix Zoo is one of the largest privately-owned, non-profit zoos in the country. Home to more than 1,300 animals including 200 endangered or threatened birds, mammals, and reptiles, the Zoo always entertains and delights. Guests can take a walk through Monkey Village, have an up close encounter with a giraffe, ride a camel, hop aboard the Safari Train, learn about farm life at the petting zoo and enjoy several water play features during the spring and summer such as Leapin’ Lagoon and Yakulla Caverns. Enjoy exciting new exhibits including the Land of the Dragons Komodo dragon experience and Orang-Hutan: "People of the Forest" orangutan experience. Guests will enjoy daily up close animal experiences, keeper talks, bike and boat rentals and a variety of retail and food venues. The Phoenix Zoo offers unique event venues indoors and out as well as customized events for groups of only 25 to groups larger than 5,000. Conservation programs at the Zoo center around the propagation of several endangered species, earning the Zoo international recognition.
