Young kids especially appreciate the Phoenix Zoo. At Harmony Farm, kids can pet live goats and meet the giant Percheron horses. At the Fisher-Price Little People Discovery Farm, geared to ages 18 months to 5 years, tots can feed Fisher-Price animals. Kids can also ride a real camel ride, feed Jambo and the other long-necked wonders at the Giraffe Encounter, wander through the Monkey Village where squirrel monkeys scamper along the vines and trees, and learn about parrots, owls, vultures and toads at animal shows. In addition, see elephants and lions along the Africa trail, and meet rattlesnakes and other local critters along the Arizona trail.
