Wednesday some girl friends and I decided to take a drive to the Phoenix Zoo. I don't think I have been to this zoo since my overnight field trip in the 5th grade! And considering the Wildlife World Zoo is right down the street it makes sense that I would go there more. Anyways, my conclusion after visiting both zoos is there are things I like about both. Here are what I think the pros and cons are of each...
Phoenix Zoo Pros: Cheaper, has an elephant, bigger, paths are paved, bathrooms everywhere, had monkey walk through which was awesome!
Phoenix Zoo Cons: You have to pay to see sting rays, farther from home, some animals are hard to see because the exhibits hide them, jungle gym was lame (not really what you come to the zoo for, but its nice to let the kids play for a little bit instead of being in a stroller all day).
WWW Zoo Pros: More interaction with animals, gets to feed birds and giraffes, closer to home, has full aquarium, better petting zoo, better jungle gym.
WWW Zoo Cons: More expensive, pathways are dirt, smaller, has only like 2 bathrooms.
Anyway, I guess it all depends on what you'd be looking for more and which pros out weigh the others. We did have a great time regardless of comparison to the other zoo. I loved theorangutans and the giraffes. Easton loved the birds, monkeys, and especially the prairie dogs. He could have stood on the ledge all day and talked to them, it was so cute! I had a great time taking him and hanging out with some other moms for the day as well. I can't remember who said it, but someone said we look like a "mom mob" walking in a line with our 5 strollers. I guess it would look kinda intimidating. Haha. Well here are some pictures from the trip...
Holding hands. Little cuties!
Prarie Dogs. They loved it!
