Phoenix Zoo: Nature Play
Play with the Phoenix Zoo’s Education Team outside and connect with the natural world!
Nature play is child-directed play in nature and with nature. Nature play can happen in the smallest natural and wild areas, all ages of children can participate, it can happen in any weather and during all seasons.
We strongly believe that time spent outside playing, exploring, succeeding and learning through risky play, and enjoying and discovering the natural world in an unstructured way, is an essential component of child development.
