WHAT:
SRP’s Summer of Savings brings a refreshing experience to Phoenix Zoo animals with more than ten tons of snow spread throughout various animal habitats. Guests will be able to stroll through the zoo’s trails and encounter animals, from tigers and cheetahs to primates and rhinos exploring the snow or savoring cool treats.
Zoo guests can also cool off with a free ice cream from Mister Softee between 9 and 11 a.m. at the zoo entrance while supplies last.
The SRP team will also be onsite to offer energy efficiency tips and information and share entry codes for the Summer of Savings Giveaway.
This year, SRP customers can receive a $10 discount on zoo admission on Fridays and Saturdays until September 6.
