If you are looking for a unique activity to do while you are at the Phoenix Zoo, check out our new pedal boats. The boats have moved from their former location across from zebras, to the Children’s Trail by Harmony Farm. The new location has a brand new dock with room to load all 10 of our boats.

These green pedal boats sparkle in the sunlight and have room for up to four people. Children must be at least two years old and drivers must be 18. For just $10 ($8 for members), you can relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery around the lake.

These brand new boats are also a great way to get some exercise! Another advantage of being out on the lake is the opportunity to get a closer look at our Siamang Island and the back of the jaguar exhibit. The Siamangs love to swing and play, and if you come to the Zoo in the morning, you might even hear them sing!

If you want to relax after you take a boat out for a spin, sit in the shade and enjoy a snack or some lunch next to the dock. There are plenty of tables with great views of the lake. It doesn’t get much better than being able to eat lunch while you watch the Siamangs play!

Head on down to the Phoenix Zoo and take a ride on our fantastic pedal boats!
