Anthony and I went to the Phoenix 4th of Zooly. While the idea sounded awesome, the execution was not. It started at 6 pm so it wasn't to hot, but most of the animals had already been put to bed so we did not get to see very many of them. Included in the ticket price was an all you can eat BBQ of hamburgers, hot dogs and limited amount of veggie burgers, plus V.I.P. seating of the fireworks at Tempe Town Lake.
We took a tram ride around the zoo, the guy discussed the various animals that were not out. We then had dinner, which was nothing spectacular except for the chocolate chip cookies which were awesome. Then we listened to some music and got shuttled to the V.I.P. seating. The seating was anything but V.I.P. it was in the back lot behind the zoo on what looked to be the loading dock. The view was obstructed by palm trees and we were so packed in to the small space that it was to hot to even sit. I also had never been to this zoo and did not realize how far the Tempe Town Lake was from the zoo. Unfortunately we will never attend this event again.
I do however want to go back to the zoo and see the animals we did not get to see.
