The Phoenix Zoo is the nation’s largest privately owned, non-profit zoological parks, standing on 125 acres in Phoenix’s Papago Park. Over its 40 years in existence, the Zoo has never been given any federal or state funding. Approximately half of the Zoo’s acreage has been developed. The Zoo opened in 1962 as the “Maytag Zoo” by famed appliance family member Rober t E. Maytag. The Phoenix Zoo celebrated its 40th anniversary in November 2002. The Phoenix Zoo is home to approximately 1,400 animals including 200 species of endangered or threatened birds, mammals and reptiles from around the world. Each lives along one of four distinct trails: Tropics, Africa, Arizona and Discovery (formerly the Children’s Trail). In the past five years, the Phoenix Zoo has introduced three new habitats: The Forest of UCO, home to the endangered spectacled bears; Harmony Farm, a hands-on area of the discovery of life on a working Farm; and Deser t Lives, an award winning exhibit space and home to the native Arizona bighorn sheep and flagship Arabian oryx. In 2003, the Zoo will open interactive primate and wallaby walk-through exhibits.
