Nestled near the Desert Botanical Garden, the Phoenix Zoo is home to a diverse range of animals from all over the world, with a special focus on the wildlife of the Sonoran Desert. The zoo features expansive exhibits where you can observe native creatures like coyotes, mountain lions, and desert tortoises up close. For a more immersive experience, the zoo offers interactive opportunities, including camel rides, stingray touch tanks, and a petting zoo where kids can brush and feed goats. In addition to its animal encounters, the Phoenix Zoo hosts daily educational programs and seasonal events such as ZooLights, where the park transforms into a winter wonderland of sparkling lights.

As Thailand’s premier snake research and conservation centre, the Snake Farm offers visitors a rare glimpse into the world of these often misunderstood reptiles. Wander the grounds to see native snakes, from King Cobras to pit vipers, and catch live demonstrations, short talks, and interactive displays. It’s both educational and a little thrilling — a safe way to get up close with snakes while learning about conservation.

The magnificent Bab Rouah, the "Gate of the Winds", is monumental. It stands out for the richness of its adornments and has become an exhibition gallery. Works of famous Moroccan artists have found their venue under the elaborate arches of the four square rooms.
