What people are saying about Phoenix, Arizona

Tim and Jason are amazing. We had a blast on the Segways and learned so much while wheeling through the desert. We had family from 12yr to 80yr and we ALL had a blast. Very organized, very fun....worth every penny!! Book this tour asap!

The Phoenix Zoo is spacious but easy to navigate. It presents an enormous variety of animals who are clearly well cared for. There is helpful information about each species. It is a worthwhile adventure for all ages.

Great morning at the zoo. Bring a good pair of hiking boots and lots of water. The walk is wonderful and all the people are very helpful

Great zoo and the prices are on par with other zoos. Loved the reptile area - spent an hour watching the snakes.

It was great. Hot, but great! Will definitely buy cheaper tickets on here again!
