My family and I love the Phoenix zoo. Have been many times. Lots to do and lots to see. In fact today we discovered a part of the zoo we hadn't even seen before. The only recommendations I would like to make is we paid 10$ extra for the "all access" bands, but you really don't get "all access". The carousel is extra, the camel is extra, it only includes the train and movie specifically which is understandable in terms of costs, but it shouldn't be called an all access band if that's the case. The other recommendation I would like to make is that only one of the food places out of the entire park was open today, no snack stands were open at all, and it was a very busy day for the park. Additionally, there weren't really any healthy options for people who have dietary needs. Even the chicken wrap offered on the menu at the farm cafe had fried breading. The only thing I could safely consume at the park was the fruit salad. It would be really nice if more places offered vegetarian options. I hate being vegetarian, but have no choice. The black bean burger doesn't come with wheat bread so I didn't want to pay 7$ only to be able to eat the burger patty. I know companies can't customize everything for everyone, that would be ridiculous, but just one healthy meal option would be very much appreciated.
