WILDLIFE WORLD ZOO & AQUARIUM (yes, in ARIZONA!)

We joined the Zoo near our house today, well 1/2 hour away is closer then the PHX zoo, and MUCH better. You can get so close to the animals here, and it's something that we can do on weekdays by ourselves, it's not super crowded so I don't have to worry about everyone running in a different direction. There's a train ride, a boat ride, a sort of ski lift ride over the whole zoo, and a petting area and a play area to eat lunch at. Great outdoor activity for the kids....actually thought Ella might start napping again because of it....but nope :( LOL Rowan fell asleep as we were pulling out of the parking lot, after only 2 1/2 hours. Great fun!!!!! The kids loved it.
