WINTER IN JULY

Let it snow!

After seven years, the Phoenix Zoo’s legendary snow fest is back!

Beat the heat with nearly 50 tons of fresh snow for you to play in and icy enrichments for the animals. The coolest morning of the summer peaks with Chutti, our greater one-horned rhino chilling out under the giant spray of a hose bath. There’s SNOW better way to cool off!
