Great animal enclosures
The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens的点评
点评：We decided to go to the living desert zoo and we were very pleasantly surprised. A person at the visitor center kind of rolled her eyes and said it’s just a zoo. We found it to be a very nice, very well laid out Zoo. The animal enclosures were amazingly large and much better than we were anticipating.
The enclosure with the giraffes, ostrich and other African animals was very large and very authentic. We were very surprised at the large enclosures which look like the animals are in the wild. The bighorn sheep exhibit was basically a part of the mountain that was fenced off for the animals, so it was 100% natural, which was amazing to see the bighorn sheep that close. From the patio behind the bighorn sheep restaurant you can sit outside and watch the sheep just 20 feet away. There was also a cheetah exhibit that was also very realistic to what you would see in the wild. These are just a few examples.
We would definitely recommend seeing this Zoo and allow at least a good half day. If you go in a holiday time or in the winter time, I would definitely suggest going in the afternoon and stay until closing when it will be most cool and the animals will be out.
We were there at the end of the day and the day after Christmas when the lights for the Christmas exhibit came on at dusk. The weather was very cool and just perfect which made it extremely comfortable for all the animals that were out and about which you probably wouldn’t see if it was 120° in the summertime.
This is definitely worth the time. A lot at least a half a day if not longer. There are restaurants, a great gift shop, and it’s very easily accessible to young and old.

翻译：我们决定去沙漠动物园，结果非常惊喜。游客中心的一位工作人员翻了个白眼，说这不过是个动物园而已。但我们觉得这个动物园非常棒，布局也很合理。动物的圈舍非常大，比我们预想的要好得多。
长颈鹿、鸵鸟和其他非洲动物的圈舍非常大，而且非常逼真。这些大型圈舍让我们感到非常惊讶，它们看起来就像生活在野外一样。大角羊的展区实际上是用栅栏围起来的山体的一部分，所以完全是天然的，能如此近距离地看到大角羊真是太棒了。在大角羊餐厅后面的露台上，你可以坐在户外，近距离观看羊群，距离只有20英尺（约6米）。还有一个猎豹展区，也非常逼真，就像在野外看到的那样。这些只是几个例子。
我们强烈推荐大家去这个动物园，至少要安排半天的时间。如果您在节假日或冬季前往，我强烈建议您下午去，一直待到闭园，那时天气最凉爽，动物们也都出来活动。
我们分别在圣诞节当天和圣诞节后一天去的，那天傍晚圣诞展览的灯光亮起。天气非常凉爽宜人，所有出来活动的动物都感觉非常舒适，这在夏天120华氏度（约49摄氏度）的高温下是很难看到的。
这里绝对值得一去。至少需要半天时间，甚至更久。园内有餐厅、很棒的礼品店，而且老少皆宜，非常方便。
