One of my favorite outings to do with the boys is go to the zoo! And, we’re lucky here in the greater Phoenix area to have two great zoos to choose from– the Wildlife World Zoo is one! Now that the weather is finally cooling off here in the Arizona deserts, I’m looking forward to resuming our zoo trips and taking Baby Brother on his first zoo outing! Have you been to the Wildlife World Zoo?! If you want to check it out this fall, here’s a $3 Off of admission coupon! 
Our favorite thing to do at the Wildlife World Zoo is feed the giraffes! The boys absolutely LOVE it!! 🙂 
And, the aquarium is really great too! In the summer, it’s especially nice to be able to have an indoor animal experience! And, no surprise, the stingray touch tank is the favorite there! 
Here’s some more information from the folks at the zoo…
