Getting Involved
Cruise The Zoo
a Drive Through Experience
With businesses opening up, and the city sprouting back to life, the Phoenix Zoo has made a drastic change to maintain operations. With a drive through experience being a new option, individuals can help the Zoo maintain operations and drive by all your favorite habitats.
The Phoenix Zoo has opened its gates to your very own mini-van drive through tour. While going through the process, there are a variety of aspects that made this experience very fun and easy.
Upon arriving at the property of the Zoo, you will be met with a full staff of workers guiding and directing traffic the entire time. With stop and go signs allowing the movement of traffic, you will not be able to miss a turn or go the wrong way.
As soon as you enter the park, you will start to see the signs explaining the rules of the road. With some animals being sensitive to sound, it is requested that cars travel as quiet as possible to minimize the disturbance of the animals.
Remember this is as new for us as it is for them!
After your first turn, you will get to the audio tracks and the snack distribution station.
