Sadly this is the only view most visitors will get. The exhibit is inside the Modene Event Center and only those who are part of a class or special event will be able to see it.
You must be incredibly frustrated to learn that Phoenix Zoo will be obtaining a small species of feline and that you'll barely be able to see the cats. A sad joke, right? Maybe the viewing will end up being better than you think.
It's not that I will barely be able to see them - I will not be able to see them at all! (Unless there is some outer addition I am not aware of, but the keeper confirmed it will only be for guests using the event center). It is sad indeed because this would have been my main reason to return. Now that I can't see them I really have no reason to visit the Phoenix Zoo for at least a couple years (and possibly quite longer).
