Things like the sound of music, smells of another species, seeing something colorful, touching a different texture, and tasting.Dive deeper into the topic of behavior enrichment as we uncover the answers to all your burning questions like: What is B.E.? How is it used at the Zoo? Can my pets at home use it? And more!Listen now!The Phoenix Zoo is the only zoo in the Valley accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and is a non-profit zoological park, serving 1.4 million guests annually.
