There was so much to see and enjoy and I really loved the experience. Concessions were available throughout, though the stand my friends went to was running out of items. My two surprises: 1) They were still playing Christmas music in January 2) the Friday of MLK weekend was the last night. I could easily see this experience going to at least Valentine's Day (with different music). All this to say... I loved it and would definitely go again. I went to a similar event in LA at a botanical garden and it PALED in comparison to the Phoenix Zoo Lights

Great zoo, loved the kids play areas. A nice selection of…read moreanimals. The only reasons I gave it 4 stars was the forced exit through the gift shop. I get it is a money maker, however those of us with autistic kids know what can easily be a "no" turns into a 30-60 minute exploration of every item, needing to touch everything, and a full blown meltdown. Give people the option to avoid... please.

We have gone to the Phoenix Zoo three times over the years. This was the first time bringing our…read morekids to enjoy it. There are a lot of great animals at the zoo. Most seem to have comfortable exhibits as well. The orangutans are our favorite exhibit to visit as the four orangutans are fascinating to see up close. They can be seen wandering their yard climb on the activity's or inside avoiding the heat. The animals of Arizona section is really well done. Much more walkable than much of the rest of the zoo and provides ample shade for guests and animals. The zoo is pretty hilly in many sections including the farm and the Sahara exhibits. Be prepared to walk a lot. There are restrooms and zoo stands around, but many were closed on a Wednesday. It is a fun zoo, but definitely harder during the summer months to fully enjoy.

It's fun and relaxing at the same time. :) I definitely gave a donation after because there really should be an entrance fee!! After riding the train, my girls loved walking around the little Western village and playing pretend. My only complaint is that babies can't ride if they can't walk, which was not currently stated on the website. But it's surprising because a baby strapped to a carrier on someone's chest or back shouldn't be a problem at all, but my wife had to stay back because of that.

It's donation based so come early and bring the kids and grandparents. They do it only on weekends but they also have some wonderful indoor displays for the train enthusiast. I will return after the holidays to visit again but this was definitely a great find.

But I paid the deposit/invoice Square sent so I assumed the Square confirmation of the deposit paid was there way of saying you are good to go? Aside from that - it was an amazing time!! The kids loved the rides and they include a pizza (cut into kid sizes already) in the birthday package which was nice. It was $15 per child using the rides. The whole thing was about $300 ish without tip, you pay at the end of the event. There's only two benches in the closed off birthday section so family overflowed to the tables outside of the fence (we had a big family/friend group). Staff super helpful- I forgot a knife for the cake and to fill up a ballon with helium; they took care of both for me! The exclusive train ride for the party group was everyone's favorite part!
