World Wildlife Zoo Review

Sop many animals, such great staff. My family and I ate at the shark restaurant and enjoyed all the food. The nachos were the best

Forty dollars a person to see animals caged in a tired old zoo format. Cash only inside for overpriced food and beverages. What's up with that? Are they trying to avoid taxes? Three dollars and fifty cents for a water, rip off. Hot and dusty and lack of signage and customer service. A nightmare. Avoid.

It is a very nice place where you can learn about the species of the place, my brothers had a lot of fun and in the games too

Terrible customer service! We bought a groupon for 6 tickets and when we got to the park the agent said the tickets were pending and couldn t be honored. She told us that she wouldn t honor the same price and that we d have to pay full price and get a refund from Groupon later. We asked to speak with the manager and director who said it is groupon s problem and they aren t responsible. We saw at least 10 other families get charged full price to get in who had bought groupons. Shameful customer service to not at least honor the same price and the director was curt and not at all helpful!

Lightyears better than the Phoenix zoo. But that isn't saying too much. Great zoo. We always take relatives here. Entry,food, and rides are way too expensive almost prohibitive. If I'm driving forever I'd probably go to out of Africa for a more authentic experience for that kind price.

Pretty fabulous awesome experience never was able anywhere else to get that close for viewing and interaction

Great place, lots of animals to see. Plan on spending the WHOLE day there and bring cash. You need cash for everything! On our trip we were over 6 hours walking.

This zoo is highway robbery! $40 is under believable for what you are going to experience. The animals were not even close to lively. Went to buy food and the guy told us to go to another shop in the zoo. We get to that shop and it's closed!! So we go to the last and only shop and it's closed too! It was only 4pm... I'm flabbergasted at how disappointing this was.

I went to the resturant attached and they were extremely busy and still got my food out in decent time. Was a little overcooked but is usually spot on.

This is a great park and the year passes is a great price

This place is the best friendliness ,down to earth and customer service zoo. We enjoyed everything. They actually love and care for all the living creatures there.So very happy we went. We would love to come back.

Horrible experience. No recommendation what so ever

Disgusting, smelly, sad and a total waste of money. $40 to see some of the saddest, dirtiest animals I've ever seen in a zoo. I love zoos but this place is no better than a third world roadside attraction.

This place is a blast! The entrance fee is a bit expensive, so be prepared for that. But it was great to see so many different animals.

You need a whole day to actually see everything. Amaziing place, clean, great employees very friendly. Will go back again! :)

They let my sun with cerebral palsy so he can't walk. Drive his toy tank and in joy his the zoo. When then they don't let motorized vehicles in.

they've expanded since the last time we went. its pretty nice for the price.

We have a great time with the grandkids here. Lots to look at and keep them interested. Lots of animals and lots of birds.

I enjoyed my day here but it is VERY expensive. $85 for 2 adult entrances and all the other attractions cost extra once inside. There was also no staff visible because they're all dressed down with no uniform. We had several questions throughout our day but couldn't ask anyone. This was especially an issue at the giraffe feeding station where everyone seemed to think the grouchy old woman was just a grouchy old woman and not the person giving instructions on how to feed the giraffe. Also while there a goat was giving birth and the staff was CLEARLY unqualified in delivery and customer service as 6 "staff members" crowded around the goat with their backs to the crowd of people who had gathered. When one staff noticed some of us standing there waiting to feed the goats she barked at us to get back. Really tactless when it could have been a good educational moment for another staff and the children gathered around.

I have been going to this zoo for YEARS and it goes down hill every year. They continue to add onto it, which then raises the admission price. $39.99 for an adult admission is ridiculous considering the only thing included in this price is seeing the animals. None of the rides are included in the admission price and most are $6 a person. They keep adding more and more rides, so pretty soon it'll be the Wildlife World Amusement Park and not a zoo. You have to pay cash for everything, unless you pay a fee and use their ATM machine. Everything is ridicuously over-priced. The zoo is dirty and there is mud and standing water everywhere. No pavement and it isn't kept up well. The animal enclosures seem much smaller compared with other zoos. The zookeepers are RUDE and do not seem to enjoy their jobs. I will never be back to this zoo. The Phoenix Zoo is affordable and paved! They have beautiful animal enclosures. The only thing this zoo has that the Phoenix Zoo doesn't is the aquarium, but it doesn't seem to be worth the extra money.

In my opinion the Wildlife World zoo beats Phoenix Zoo hands down. No added cost to feed the parrots or touch the sting rays. There are areas to feed certain animals, including the giraffes for .50 cents, so bring your quarters!
There are rides here, a train, zip line, carousel to name a few that are extra money. The carousel ride is $3.50 but if you stand by your child it's free. Food prices in the park are good too.
It is on dirt, not concrete paths and I actually liked that.
We spent five hours here and didn't see all the park.
So much fun!

The place was great. A wide range of animals and pretty scenery

Most of the stores for icees and the restaurants were closed in the middle of a hot Friday

Always fun for the family, worth the money to get the membership

Loved this zoo, so many animals and plenty of shade to keep cool and out of the sun. You can see the giraffes and camels and many other animals super close. Will definitely bring back the family. Make sure to use the coupon on zoo s website. Take umbrella, comfortable shoes and plenty of water. There s several places to eat there, train to ride, and carnival type rides.

My daughter loves this zoo. Up close and personal with all kinds of animals. It does cost a lot to get in $39.99 adults $19.00 3 & up and if you want to ride, rides bring $6 each person for each ride. My suggestion to wildlife zoo #1 lower the cost of rides and more people will ride them #2 drill down all screws in benches, so people don't get hurt

Had a good time at the zoo. Favorite part was feeding the birds.

If you re close by it s worth buying the membership! Very nice Zoo which is continuing to expand. The kids always love it and enjoy the rides, however the rides are VERY expensive....not sure they re worth it. The aquarium was a nice addition! The giraffes are always a hit! The safari ride is very neat.

We love this place! Best aquarium in town for fresh water fish!

Spectacular! The best experience! Awesome love this place!

My children and I had a great time. Now it is a little bit pricey, but worth it. Now what you need to know, the entire park is cash only except the gift shop, however they do have atms. Also bring like 5 dollars in quarters so you can feed the animals. I hope you enjoy, I know I did.

Ticket prices are a little high, but it was a good time.

Had an amazing time with the family. Animals were happy and active. Definitely worth the stop.

Descent zoo. Not awfully big. Overpriced food. Took a few hours to go through all of it.

It was very fun the food was great the animals were very enjoyable to watch and overall was a great trip definitely going there again sometime.

The Wildlife World Zoo has become an outstanding facility over the years.

The aquarium in the restaurant is well worth the trip

Very nice zoo. Vastly improved since I last visited.

I hadn't been there in a long time and took my Grandkids today.
I knew that it was quite expensive to get in, and took some cash so they could ride some rides because I assumed they were going to be cash only, but was not prepared to have to pay cash for food. I would have at least thought the cafe's would take debit or credit. They did have ATM's but I wasn't about to pay fees. They need to let people know on their website.

Lots of walking. Make sure to bring cash for food and drinks

The weather was perfect to take a stroll through the zoo. But it was so muddy. I tried so hard to be careful. I slipped and fell, i got a enjured and no staff members came and ask if i was okay. They clearly saw me fall or alteast saw me cleaning the blood of my knees with mud.

Over priced at $40 but I know the animals need The help. Very large zoo lots of walking good exercise.

Awesome place, I love the aquarium. Good place to get some steps in. But bring cash for the food.

Loved the place. It was a surprise this place existed..been in phoenix for a long time, this one missed my attention. Kids enjoyed well...so many things to do. Downside: there is entry fee and on top of tht all rides (train, tram etc) are price 6$ each per person. Allows outside food.recommend!

Expensive but lots to see. Plan at least half a day to see it all.

We like going here. ...
Love the aquarium buildings and some rides are perfect too. ...
The snacks shops,entrance and ride fee are a bit expensive side. ... Service was okay. ...
they got renovated so kinda they got a bit . ......
bathrooms is just okay. ...
The animals is always fascinating and signage are informative. ...
Always crowded too. ...
But we had a nice time. ...

If you want to visit a zoo in Arizona? This should be your first choice.

Pretty fun place the kids will definitely enjoy it.

More of a rustic outdoor zoo. Still a fun place to take the kids. Not crowded during the weekdays get a more intimate feel

This places is fantastic. We love to feed the birds

LOVE THIS PLACE! Can't wait to see the GIRAFFES! ;)

So much to see. I wouldn't go during the summer months. Because there's a lot of dirt...repare to have dirty shoes. Wear plenty of sunscreen & take an umbrella or hat

Amazing! Diverse collection of species presented in an interesting, comfortable & healthy environment. Particularly suited for young families. Keep up the great work!

Came here on a field trip with my daughter and I had so much fun!! I do wish you guys had more stands open

To me seem to me better the phoenix zoo, if you like birds there was lots and lots of birds.

This place is awesome! The kids will love it a perfect place for the entire family. They have some unique animals that other zoos do not have. There are rides for the kids and some rides for the adults as well. Make sure to take the guided tram tour in the Safari exhibit. The Skyride is also exhilarating and gives you a great view of the entire Zoo. A must-see place as I will be back with my family again

Drove an hour to get here only for the lady working the front to be extremely rude! Paid $75 for the tickets but I d rather waste the money then be treated so poorly again!

Always excellent, being going here since I was a little one and it's gotten so big! Tons of exhibits and it's laid out pretty well. Multiple places to eat on the ground and having many water fountains throughout the park is a plus. Well made and we'll be back next visit!

We love taking our daughter here in the cooler months. Great aquarium, too!

Loved it. Kids had tons of fun. Can't wait to go back.

We loved our visit to Wildlife World Zoo. There preservation is massive !!!!! We thought the care of their animals is impressive and the fact we can get up close to their animals, rather than them being in cages, was the very best part of this Zoo.

Only downside is all the rides are extra. It would be nice if they offered a package for riding all the rides.

Largest collection of albino animals I have ever cone across before. Wish more of the rides were open more often and foid stands but that's alright I'd live to see bigger and more realistic areas for some of the animals but it's coming along beautifully. I wish people would donate more toward this place instead of those places that get government funding.

Not a bad day, a bit too hippy dippy for me, especially when the animals "chose not to participate today"... Yeah, what if I choose not to participate in paying your outrageous entry fees?

This place after all the expenses, per person, cost as much as a ticket to Disneyland.

Great place to walk around. Some repeat animals. Lots and lots of birds.

Favorite zoo in all the world. Love the transformation it's made, but still remembers its roots.

My family loves visiting this zoo. The animals are happy and fun to observe.

We love it!!! The kid's enjoy there time at the zoo. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

It's pricy, but you can save $5 with their online coupon.The experience is amazing. They have so many animals, even some I've never knew existed. So be prepared to walk, and bring your walking shoes. I recommend you eat before you come and make sure you bring a light snack and water. The food is not the vest here and very expensive. They don't allow outside food but all the money from their sales is for the zoo animals. I would definitely come again!

Awesome facilities and able to see the animals so close up! Aquarium and wildlife!

I've watched this place grow for 20 years and am amazed how large it has become. Can be expensive once you start adding up the extras. Expect to spend $100 per person after rides and food. Overall a good day for kids.
