The Phoenix Zoo
Founded by Robert Maytag, The Phoenix Zoo is the largest privately owned, non-profit zoo in the United States. It proudly boasts more than 3,000 animals with nearly 400 species represented, including many threatened/endangered species. Spread around 125 acres, it has been labeled a Phoenix Point of Pride.
For anyone interested in visiting the zoo for a fun family day out, Phoenix Zoo has four main trails, namely The Africa Trail (animals from Africa), The Arizona Trail (American Southwest flora and fauna), the Tropics Trail (residents of the rain forests) and the Children’s Trail.
After having enormous success around the world, Candlelight brings its unique experience to incredible open-air venues in Phoenix. Journey back to some of your fondest memories and favorite on-screen moments while sitting surrounded by the warm glow of thousands of candles.
Note: For the safety of our audience, all of the candlelight will be provided through flameless candles.
