22. Wildlife World Zoo

I take the family at least three times a year and the experience never gets old. The animal interaction is fantastic -- from standing high on a platform for hand-feeding giraffes to sitting on the floor of an aviary while dozens of colorful birds descend upon you to feast on apple slices. At the World Wildlife Zoo you get amazingly close to so many exotic animals: Panthers, leopards, tigers, even playful tiger cubs. In addition to normal zoo fare, there is a great reptile house and small aquarium. The World Wildlife Zoo is a place that my children enjoy as much as I do.

I bring my children here every time we are in the Phoenix area. They never get tired of coming back, and really enjoy the animals. This is a great family place.
