Some of the top things to do in Phoenix in January and other months of winter season include: Now that we have more or less talked about the weather conditions and what you can expect from the climate around, it is time we speak of the amazing range of activities one can indulge in.
Have a Question SPECIAL ZOO SAVINGS LABOR DAY WEEKEND SALE This weekend only save 10 on a Zoo membership. January is believed to be the coldest month of them all, mainly because of the fact that the temperatures tend to drop up to 44 degrees Fahrenheit which is pretty cold. The Phoenix Zoo is the only zoo in the Valley accredited by Association of Zoos and Aquariums. The winters predominantly prevail from the months of November till February, more or less. As mentioned before, the weather skirts around 60 degrees which are pretty amazing for you to roam and explore around the place. I don't think i would pay their fees to bring kiddos who would get hot and tired easily.If the summers are extreme during the months between May till August, Phoenix in winter weather is actually breathtaking and quite amazing to be in. I guess you can say most of the animals were at a great distance. The giraffes and elephants were far away. It was neat to see all of the cactus throughout the park. You could picnic in their parking lot if you brought your own lunch. It was pretty busy, people and strollers all over the place. I think if you ride the bus you get more of that sort of interpretation- but why pay more? It was another zoo visitor who told me the elephant was playing with a beer keg filled with cheerios to keep it's mind sharp. You had park workers walking around, but it would be nice if you had more of them interact with the visitors and explain stuff. When I visited some better known zoos in other cities I was. It also makes it tricky to see some of the animals. Pay to feed the giraffes, pay for the photo op's. Join my daughter, Morgan, and I as we brave a rainstorm to do a Phoenix Zoo tour We didnt let a little (haha) rain and hail stop us from enjoying a wander. This makes it a long walk between exhibits. So back we went to the other area to repeat some of our steps. It is lacking 'flow.' We wound our way around some trails to come to the other end and find out we missed a few animals. The layout of the park was hard to navigate. In fact, this reminds me of Disneyland prices. This is price gouging to a "captive" group. Learn about Monarch migration in a captivating 3D movie, observe live chrysalis as they emerge naturally into beautiful butterflies, spend ample time strolling through the conservatory with the butterflies, get up close to unique reptiles that inhabit rainforests across the world, and even indulge in edible insects Butterfly Wonderland closes. Up the road, at the Desert Botanical Garden, they are a more reasonable $2.00. A bottle of water or a cok will cost you $3.69. Thirsty? You better bring your own drinks. However, with multiple strollers trying to get throught, this is not a very efficient exit. What a great marketing strategy, of course. When you are ready to leave the Zoo, you must exit throught the Gift Shop. Yes, there were, but for the lack of an individual map, I have marked my rating down a notch. When I asked about that, I was told that there were Zoo maps scattered throughout. However, unlike the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and the nearby Desert Botanical Garden, the Zoo does not provide even one sheet of a photocopied map. But, I expected a map upon entry to the Zoo. I expected a sizeable admission fee since the upkeep costs of the facility must be enormus. Let me explain my average rating in the next three paragraphs. The signage of the animal exhibits is excellent. The collection and display of the animals is pretty impressive.
The Zoo is pretty sizeable (125 acres), and it takes quite a while to walk through it.
