NATURE PLAY
Get outside!
Nature play is child-directed play in nature and with nature. Nature play can happen in the smallest natural and wild areas, children of all ages can participate, it can happen in any weather and during all seasons!Â
Â
 The Phoenix Zoo strongly believes that time spent outside playing, exploring, learning and enjoying the natural world in an unstructured way is an essential component of child development.

This event is free with admission or membership, and guests can drop in at any time!Â
