Phoenix Zoo: Family Nature Walk
Meet other nature-loving families as we take a leisurely stroll observing nature and learning fun facts about specific zoo trails. During each tour, the guide will feature the unique horticulture, look for wildlife, and stop at zoo exhibits. This tour is great for out-of-town families wanting to know more about Arizona and the Phoenix Zoo or for in-town families that are looking to explore nature and the Zoo further with the assistance of a guide. This is an interactive tour! With assistance from the guide, guests are encouraged to touch, smell, and examine nature (even using a Zoo microscope!) while walking the path.
Walks last approximately 60 minutes each and are great for any age level. This is a walking tour, therefore, wearing comfortable shoes and bringing water with them is highly suggested. All paths are wheelchair and stroller accessible. Service animals are permitted. Scooter Pals may not be used on this tour. Binoculars and cameras are fun tools to have on this tour but not required or necessary. Walking tours do not include any behind-the-scenes viewing or interactions.
Each walk will begin at the Adventure Center near the front of the Arizona Trail. We recommend arriving 5-10 minutes early. Due to the nature of the program, joining the tour after it begins may not be possible. Each tour may be led by a different guide each time who will share slightly different knowledge.
