“I went to the Heritage Park zoology sanctuary a couple weeks ago, and it was absolutely splendid. My favorite part was the monkeys, I can’t believe that they have monkeys now. When I was a child, I remember there was a monkey so the monkeys must be somewhat recent, anyways I love monkeys.”

“This zoo was great it’s small but I saw more animals than the big ones in Phoenix or bearizona since the animals were always hiding in those. My kids loved it and the park playground was a plus. We will back soon”
💬 What parents mention
Overview
Heritage Park sits beside Willow Lake and keeps its animal population at a scale where sightings are virtually guaranteed - a contrast to larger zoos where animals frequently retreat out of view. The sanctuary holds mammals, birds, reptiles, and invertebrates including tarantulas. A children's zoo section, playground, and splash pad sit within the grounds. Private 90-minute behind-the-scenes tours let small groups hand-feed multiple animals with detailed keeper commentary.
