Although summertime is brutal in Arizona, well-shaded habitats and plenty of trees keep animals (and guests) cool. Lions, zebras, and antelope seek solace from the sun where you can still see them, instead of retreating to their covered caves. A newly built aquarium houses 150 marine and semi-marine species, including sharks, penguins, eels, and jellyfish. Atop the giraffe-feeding platform, guests are level with the tall-necked mammals. All it takes is a handful of food and they'll be nuzzling your palm with their long, rough tongues. A few times a day, animal experts host the Wildlife Encounter Show along with their cast of exotic birds and reptiles.
