Phoenix Zoo's Wishlist

Did you know the Phoenix Zoo has a Wishlist? Some items on the list are for the animals to use directly and others are to take care of them or create Behavioral Enrichment activities. For example, the Bornean Orangutans enjoy silk blouses; they even try to put them on.

Many of these items are common household items you may have laying around the house. You can earn extra raffle tickets by bringing new or gently used items to your starting location from 8am to 10am on the day of ZooRide.
