The Phoenix Zoo rests on 125 acres of land including exhibit, non-exhibit and operational areas. There is roughly 2.5 miles of walking trails and the Zoo is divided into four different trails; usually the Africa and Tropics Trails take about an hour each and the Arizona and Children’s Trails take about a half hour each.
Zoo officials recommend approximately 2 and a half to 3 hours to see the Zoo, depending on the size and ages of your group, and how fast you walk. Because exhibits replicate the natural habitats of the collection, some animals can be difficult to see and visitors may be required to spend more time in observation.
