World Wildlife Zoo Review

Had a great time and looking forward to 2020 to see all the new animals. Good experience overall

Very amazing!! Many open exhibits that allow you to roam free with the animals. Very nice!

Ate at Dillons....good food nice/comfortable outdoor eating area.

The best zoo, great, the fantastic aquarium, the seal show, it was great

Wow, our family had a wonderful day at the Wildlife World Zoo! The exhibits get better every time we go (it has been several years), the new Aquarium is fantastic, and the rides were a lot of fun.

Our kids 1 and 5 years old had such a fun time. We are from WA state and have never been to such a great zoo where you can get so close to the animals and there aren t 100 other people trying to look as well. We went on a Sunday and it wasn t crowded at all and each exhibit had great viewing areas. Food seemed reasonably priced but there were a lot of extra things that cost money that aren t included in the admission price. Would definitely recommend this zoo!

I got to touch a sting ray. There was an albino alligator, so cool.

this place was a great experience and the animals they had seem to be kept in good condition which is always a plus to see. there's usually a Groupon that you can use to get a discount but either way the regular ticket prices themselves are not that expensive

Plan on the entire day. So, if you have little ones you might be cut short. Great zoo, with lots to see and do.

Love the tigers!! The aquarium was nice. The crocodiiles are ugly ans scary. The place is fun and I love that is on the outskirts of town

We always have so much fun coming to this zoo! Friendly staff and everything is kept very clean!

I like it, it is not packed so it's good for me and my 1 year old to walk around looking at the animals.

As a 11 year old i loved the rides and the Artic Wolf's. So i loved it.

This is an absolutely phenomenal zoo! Yes it is a bit of a drive to get all the way out here but it is a nice drive so long as there is no traffic. You will also drive by some flower fields assuming they have not been sold and developed by the time you read this. This zoo is massive! The biggest highlight to it is the petting zoo.

Best Zoo Ever! What was started by an amazing school teacher with a love of animals, and a dream, has blossomed over a relatively short time into one of Arizona's best destinations! Wether you are young or young at heart it is a must see!
Oh, and it is a great "first" date setting! My husband and I met via internet. The Wildlife World Zoo is where we met for our last first date!

What an amazing place to go! My wife got a video of an albino peacock exploding all of its feathers everywhere it was so amazing I never seen anything like it before, we also got to feed the giraffes and how crazy was that slimed all over my hand and was pretty disgusting but at the same time very cool, I highly suggest going on the Safari ride we got to encounter lots of wild animals very close up, definitely would recommend

Kids had a blast but definitely in need of some remodeling... And you have to pay to go on each ride?! Why?

Awesome place! So much to see and do here...I would recomend getting season tickets to visit often, they are open 365 days a year!

We love coming here with our kids and getting close to the animals. The new Safari area could have a better design but it's still pretty cool.

Big cats had really small enclosures, are too skinny and we're pacing back and forth - literally heartbreaking.
If you want to look at monkeys they have them...actually they have too many! Just as there were too many birds housed alone in a cages.
There is no staff monitoring the grounds which I found to be alarming considering access to most enclosures was no problem.
Trying to eat lunch at this place was a joke considering there was 1 guy who was at register taking orders and cooking the food.
I would never recommend this place EVER! Overpriced and the animals look miserable!!

The Wildlife World Zoo has a plethora of animals and very clean bathrooms; I highly recommend going!

My family loves this zoo. You can always see the animals (instead of them always hiding) and it's a very nice walk around the place. We love that there is always something new here. The improvements they are making to enclosures are really nice and the animals look quite happy.

Loved everything but some of the transportation was not open. I would suggest asking the operation hours for the attractions inside, there is alot to see!:-)

Wasn't a huge fan of this zoo. Many of the animals were just pacing back and forth like they were bored to death. Their cages seemed so small. And they had several of the same kind of animals in different areas of the zoo. Don't know why they don't keep them all together. The rides were anywhere from $6-$15 per person so we didn't ride any. The highlight were the giraffes. It was fun getting to feed them.

Really fun experience for the whole family! My son loved the zip line and feeding the giraffe!

I've lived out here next to the zoo for 20 some years and it just gets better and better.

The worst of capitalism with the 50 cent dispensers for animal food. A very few pellets for the 50 cents. Actually got lost. The sign for flamingos. There are two exhibits for them. It would be nice if you warned people about the extensive walking and a way to get rescued if need be. For the price of tickets you could do better. Enjoyed the trip otherwise. $4 dollars for a bottle of water! Bird poop every where. That's as infectious as any thing. At least clean the seats people sit on.

The small housed exhibits are the best. You get to get extra close to a lot of animals.

Absolutely love the animals..park is very beautiful..

It was super amazing well worth the money there's even coupons online super close interaction with the animals definitely will go back again to do the rides because some of them are down

My family first visited the zoo 5 years ago. We took our 6 grand children 3/20/17 back to visit. Must say we were a little disappointed, the prices are a very high, food very expensive, and poor quality. Our main complaint was the stench around the duck ponds, water was so polluted with algae and trash.. seems like the zoo is going in the wrong direction.

Expensive, I felt bad for all the animals, you can see their paths of pacing their small cages. I wish they would make it all open. See African Lion Safari in Canada, you actually drive through it, and the animals are FREE to roam. Take an older vehicle or go in their bus. As animals get on your car.

First visit to Arizona, traveling with my disable daughter, who uses a wheelchair
The sky ride was one of the rides she requested that she might see the entire park. I felt disrespected, a white man at the gate prompted hand jesters when I asked where to pay for the ride, he pointed to the ground as no one was attending the booth. Asking again, the man pointed to the ground and yelled out right here. What harm would it have been spoken to in a respectful manner? Decided not to ride, spoke with non helpful manager, left the park with no thought of returning again. African American female from Virginia.

Loved this zoo. Animal habitats well cared for and entire zoo was clean and roomy.

Good to visit such places like once in a break. Visited on a spring break all the way from Idaho, the place is awesome.

Very good experience great I will return the kisses that I can recommend them very nice place excellent

Awesome Zoo. One of my favorites. We go all the time, don't miss it. It's well worth it. I'll let my pictures speak for themselves :-)

Great park. Everything was cash only. When asked for a cup of water was told that i would have to buy a cup or find a fountian.

Majority of exhibits were closed/roped off. Disgusting restrooms. Some of the aquarium Exhibits smelt horrendous due to nasty carpet. Not a lot to see, waste of time and money. Do not recommend!

Great time. Love this Zoo. I go every other year. The improvements are wonderful and more in 2020..
I hope you dont raise the entry price, after imorovements.

Dead birds in exhibits and around park but other than that it's a great experience

Favorite winter fun in arizona! I especially love the aquarium! Sooo many beautiful fish! They have an amazing white tiger! And feeding the giraffes is a favorite for kids.

This is one of the biggest zoos that I have gone to and I lived it. My kids had a lot of fun and they liked that there were a lot of different kinds of animals.

Don't recommend to go if your pregnant! Specially in these heat . Not gunna lie I regret going cuz u was dehydrated to the point I almost fainted other then that it was fun while it lasted

We went today for my sons first birthday and we had a blast! Spent four hours exploring the park. I think it s a great option for these covid-19 times since the majority of the park is outdoors and it wasn t crowded there, even on a Saturday. We had lunch at Dillion s and the service staff were helpful and kind. Down to earth people. The food was yummy and big portions. All the staff in the park were nice. You can bring your own water bottles and snacks into the park too. If you have a small child I recommend you bring your own stroller. I didn t give this place a 5 stars because none of the restrooms had a changing table that I could find, even in the family rooms. I had to breast feed twice and one good quiet spot with a bench is in front of the fallow deer. Another spot with a tree and a bench is in front of the African tortoise but later in the day when there is even less traffic.

I took my little ones for my son's 7th birthday and it was not a good experience at all. When we got there we had to find an employee so we could pay our admission's and that took 15 minutes. Throughout the park none of the restaurants we're open including the vending machine we're not working. It got real ruff having children and not being able to buy them lunch or drinks nearby unless we walked to the front. Employees were impossible to find and overall experience we're not great at all. . . Was not worth it and we will not be returning.

I loved everything at this zoo it s not the biggest but the staff is awesome and the animals are so neat and accessible

Got to feed the birds apples.
Fun experience even during these covid times. Kids loved it most things are open other than shops.

Was Awsome! All the animals were out it was a BEAUTIFUL day Cant wait to go back!

Had a great time The animals were all out and we could see everything. Liked it way better than the Phoenix zoo

Great Zoo with up close and personal access to the animals and a great aquarium!

I loved how happy the animals are. Many playing joyfully!

So much fun! The little rides and attraction really gave this place a fun family feel. It was clean, but still felt natural (e.g. the walkways were often just dirt, but good dirt). You can also get pretty close to the animals, which makes the experience all the cooler.

Good experience. Worth it for the combination of the zoo and aquarium.

The Wildlife World Zoo was by far the most diverse zoo with such a variety of animals, size and location. If you overlook this attraction, you have missed a spectacular attraction.

Lots to see. All exhibits had animals and birds you can see, unlike Phoenix Zoo where many animals seek shelter and you can't see them. My second visit. I'd choose this one over the other any day, even though it is a 40 Mile drive from where we are in Mesa.

I am a bit torn over this zoo. It is very nice, educational, seems somewhat clean, staff is very friendly. I am just not convinced that the animals are taken care of with the highest ability that they should be. I have been here several times over the last 15 years and still see animal living conditions that could be better kept, cleaner, bigger for the sake of the animal and sometimes I have seen animals that just don't seem very healthy. I'm sure there is a bit more of a struggle when you are privately funded. Maybe we need to up our donations a little bit people! God bless animal lovers!!

Great zoo...in my opinion a better experience than the Phoenix Zoo. It costs just 50 cents to feed the giraffes and ducks. The enclosures are nice, a lot of unique animals, and there is plenty to see in the aquarium. Just know that all of the establishments only take cash, although there are ATMs everywhere. Bathrooms are clean and the place is spread out so far that it never felt crowded. A must see if visiting...or a great way to spend a day with the family.

My four year old daughter loved the giraffe feeding area! The whole zoo was awesome! We went on the log ride at the beginning and it kept cool for the remaining time! We will have to visit again!

I still really like this place, shocked to see entry price was up to $40 bucks tho. I guess it's still worth it to visit the beautiful animals.

Decent amount of animals and being a smaller zoo you can get closer to the animals as well. Can do whole zoo in about 4-5 hours depending on how fast you walk...

As a zoo & Small Mammals Volunteer here at the Wildlife World Zoo, until Saturday, March 7th, 2020, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT at the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park, in Litchfield Park, Arizona, because I LOVE the keepers that I work with, all the animals like me, ESPECIALLY one of the squirrel monkeys and, my FAVORITE ANIMAL, the FRUIT BATS, and it's such an EXCITING and FUN PLACE to volunteer and have LOTS of FUN at! I LOVE learning about ALL of the land and sea animals here, ESPECIALLY THE FRUIT BATS, lions, and tigers! It will BREAK MY HEART to pieces when I have my LAST DAY VOLUNTEERING coming up SOON, but I will ALWAYS REMEMBER the FUN, FUNNY, EDUCATIONAL, and AMAZING MEMORIES and times that I had here, where I'm having and had some of the BEST DAYS of MY ENTIRE LIFE!

THANK YOU SO MUCH to ALL of the keepers at the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park, for allowing me to volunteer and help you guys out with the small mammals! Let's make my LAST DAY VOLUNTEERING on Saturday, March 7th, 2020, THE BEST and MOST MEMORABLE DAY, YET!

Love this zoo.. I consider it the best. Even on a 110 degree daythe aquarium was fun

Absolutely incredible!!! So much to see, and so many ways to interact with many of the animals. Definitely the best zoo in Arizona by far!!!!!!

I have went there for a school field trip and it was pretty nice

Expensive, no walk ways without dirt, no shades on the strollers. Rude customer service. Never going back.

I wasn't comfortable with the size of the enclosures. They all seemed small to me. The $40 charge was pretty steep for the ambience of the jet fighters constantly flying overhead.
