It's actually a really cool zoo and has been on our list of places to film but usually put on the back burner since it is so close and quick to get to. Hopefully one day soon we'll be able to return and feature some of the animals a bit better as well as the ones the drive didn't go around. 😄
This is so cool! We would both love this. It’s great they have enough space, several zoos are really struggling so this is a fantastic idea. Really loved this!
We absolutely agree. Knowing we were helping the zoo in these times was a great feeling and it was a great opportunity to get out of the house in a safe manner.
This is a really cool concept though. With what’s going on it’s a cool idea to still give people a zoo experience & allowing them to see the animals. Looked like a cool time brother!
What a cool experience! I have not heard of any other zoos doing that event. Thanks for supporting the zoo. By the way, orangatan is pronouced ur *ang*uh*tan.
I actually came across Cleveland Zoo doing a similar event when I was researching this one! I'd be interested to see how similar the experience is! Another animal park we've visited in the past, Out of Africa, north of Phoenix in Camp Verde has a somewhat similar drive-thru experience once a week though they are more of a wildlife park and less traditional zoo. Their experience (from what I've read online) is a bit different in that you can drive thru as many times as you like, one can pull over to look at the animals and there are a few areas where keepers give talks.
It's really worth it to help them out we think. I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and say that early morning before it gets too hot might be your best bet to see the animals as that generally seems to be the case there even when cars aren't driving around. We unfortunately got off to a late start that day. And won't lie... seeing that cheetah get up and run was quite a sight to see.
I believe it was only during this last summer. They are currently doing a drive thru on select nights for their Christmas lights but a lot of dates are already sold out. I know if no other dates aside from those.
I've been here, as a kid and now I live right by there. I live on Mill Avenue, in Tempe, Arizona and I ride my bike to that zoo and the Desert Botanical Garden, every week (Takes me 8 min to get there), to mine cryptocurrency, on my E-bike👍👍👍
@@CactusAtlas You guy's are way too awesome!! So glad to have found your channel. Stay Blessed🙏 I shouldn't even be alive, the Lord saved me multiple times in Iraq. Please be in prayer. The Rapture is about to happen and with the way the world is going, you want to catch the next flight outta' here! This is a free gift. Just by believing: Everyone needs to remember that you must be Born-Again (of the Spirit), to get to Heaven. That means a change of heart and mind or repentance/metanoia. 1.) Believe that Christ YahshuWaH/Jesus (The Son of God) laid down His glory in Heaven, so that He could be born of a virgin 2.) Believe that He lived a perfect and sinless life 3.) Believe that He love's❤️ us so much, that He shed His blood on the cross, as a living sacrifice for our sins, so that we could have a path to Heaven, even as we are yet sinners and unworthy of Heaven 4.) Believe that He arose from the dead, after three days and ascended up into heaven, to be with the Father, until His return (Soon to come) 5.) It is is not by works of our own that we get to Heaven, but the righteousness of Jesus. Accept the free gift of Salvation, by faith, in believing in Christ and His finished work on the cross, being the only way to Heaven. He already paid the price for all of our sins. *FINISHED:* YaHWeH/God wishes that none would perish, but it's your choice. That's it. You can be saved. Now go and spread this Gospel.👍 Much love!
Never seen the Phoenix zoo so we get an idea of what it looks. Glad you guys went to show us what it is like and to support the zoo in this time.

Thanks! We thought so too! And let's be honest... at the time this occurred we were itching to get out of the house and be among anything familiar. 😂

@@CactusAtlas those sound fun! Thanks for letting me know about those.
Not a problem! 😊
YOOOO that looks fun!
It was! The best part was simply driving in the zoo.
Nice, I'm gonna have to go do that! Maybe it's just me, but I would pay extra to see a cheetah get to be a cheetah :)

How often does this happen?
I believe it was only during this last summer. They are currently doing a drive thru on select nights for their Christmas lights but a lot of dates are already sold out. I know if no other dates aside from those.
How long will it take to cruise the zoo??
It lasted about an hour for us. Could be less depending on the speed people drive through, but probably no less than 45 minutes.

We love both of those places. Sadly a bit of a far bike ride for us to go to. 😂 Wish we could go more often.
