Children's play area |
The zoo is home to animals from around the world, from
Africa to Asia to South America. Offerings include feeding a giraffe (an extra
fee), a children’s African-themed play area, and an interactive area at the
conservation learning center. Other activities to come in closer contact with
the animals change on a daily basis.

The Tucson zoo is not the best zoo in the world, nor is it
the worst. It is what it is. A nice small zoo that gives locals the opportunity to see animals from other parts of the world. It's a small zoo as zoos go, and its animals appear to be well cared for. The zoo has plenty of benches where visitors can rest from all the
walking; unfortunately, most of the benches face away from the animals. Also, on the day we were there, dirty
windows and glass panels prevented visitors from being able to see the
animals clearly. Aside from this, the zoo is a pleasant way to spend a few
hours.
The zoo is located at 3400 Zoo Court, just off 22nd. Go early, though, especially during the hot summer months. We arrived 45 minutes after the zoo opened to find the main parking lot was almost full.
