I rank this as one of the best zoo's I've been too. I have been fortunate to visit zoo's from the east to the west coast and this is one of my favorites. It has a truly intimate feeling. You get a up close and personal, whether it's walking into the kangaroo pen, feeding the birds or feeling like you can reach out and touch the rhino. It is deceptively large and worth multiple trips. A key piece of advice, being cash.

When we first got there we weren't sure if the zoo was even open but once we saw card in the parking lot we figured out it was. There are A LOT if birds on display, a lot of the same birds. It's also dusty because the walking paths aren't paved. Like all zoos it's expensive to get in and then they want you to pay extra for the rides and attractions.

This was one of the best zoos I've ever been to! You could get so close to the animals. Feeding the Giraffes was especially fun. Throughout the day jets from Luke Air force base fly over head and I thought that was pretty cool.

This is the best zoo in The Valley. I love the Phoenix zoo also and the Phoenix zoo is awesome, but I think this one is better. I used to live pretty close to the zoo when it was smaller and it has exploded with growth which is so awesome to see. They have amazing indoor areas for when it is hot, perfect for the summer heat. They have an aquarium, walk-in aviary, animals that roam, a boat ride and safari train. They are putting in rides such as a small kid roller coaster. They have awesome eats right nearby and there are a lot of local businesses in the area. I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE THEM NEXT TIME!

It was the best zoo that I have ever been! How lucky are we, the public, to be able to see such happy animals and be so close to them. I can't believe how special that is to actually get to interact with the animals. The animals loved the interaction too! It made their lives more fun and fulfilled while putting smiles and great feelings about nature and God knows any person that got to experience this zoo.
Very special zoo! Thank you so much for one of the best days that I have had !

It's not cheap but it's pretty great. A lot of what's going on here feels like a money grab, with all the rides and stuff oriented to making you shell out more money after you already paid over $30 to get in. That being said, there are plenty of free activities still. You can feed the Lory birds (highly recommend), touch the rays even if you don't pay for the food, and go to the stage show they have. Add to that that you can feed the giraffes for a couple quarters and you can have a lot of fun even without shelling out $6 a person for a ride.

The aquarium is nice, and the sea lion exhibit is so much fun. It's grown so big I couldn't even see every exhibit. It's worth the money for a different zoo experience than the Phoenix zoo.

My gf and children are new to az and took the boy too see the zoo!!! He absolutely loved it!!!! The new addition is wonderful!!! I remember as a kid when it was like a 4 acre shack! I really enjoyed it!

We love this zoo! The animals are well cared for, plenty of shade, animals everywhere not a mile away like Phoenix Zoo. They should work on their food production and cost, not worth the money. The rides are a great way to break up the walking.

I was only going to supervise a group of children, so I wasn t expecting much. I ve been to the Phoenix zoo and thought it would be the same, disappointing but my assumptions were
Premature. You can t compare. This place you can literally walk right up to the cages. I had a tug of war with a piece of bamboo with a little monkey. We touched a rhino and leopard. Omg, that a great unexpected experience. The aquarium was fantastic as well.

I enjoyed it. Only thing I didn't like was how much they charge to ride the rides they have inside. Just getting in with my family of 5 was pricey and then to charge up to $15 a person for some of the rides was a little much.

Much more interactive than the Phoenix zoo and it has an awesome aquarium that makes you forget that you are in the middle of the desert. Just don't try to take a picture too close to anything that kill you.

This place takes zoo to a another level. Lots of animals to see. Expect to spend the whole day here. Lots of walking but plenty of stuff to ride to see the park such as the train, sky wire, tram, boat ride. Theres lots of rides too. Very nice set up. Pretty pricey tho so bring lots of money and they only accept cash so keep that in mind too. Overall great fun experience and worth the money.

Very expensive admission, wish more of that went into the upkeep of the zoo.

Great selection of animals, though. I spent the whole day wandering around and doing gesture drawings.

My chief complaint is the husbandry of the parrots. Many don't have any enrichment in their cages at all. Some parrot displays seem added in as space fillers, and not attractions. Please give them some toys and things to keep them occupied, they're smart and grow bored easily. One cockatoo had plucked themself nearly bald (most likely from stress and frustration).

I'll definitely bring my rating up if I visit again and see that /all/ of the birds are well cared for. :)

Phenomenal! We have been going to the WWZ for 10 years now and love it. The changes are always positive. Can't wait for a zoo app and a punch card for the rides. I would buy a punch card for $24 if I got five rides....one free! Just my thoughts.

We LOVE this zoo. It's honestly the best I've ever been to. I bring everyone here when they come to visit. The animals are always available to see and there are so many different exhibits. We bought a membership because we were visiting so frequently. It's definitely worth the money. Always search for a Groupon before you go, though.

Not crowded, animals were active, and a good mix of animal life. It could display more animal facts, backgrounds, etc. Needs snack bar on the far end of complex. And Prices are a little steep. Other than that, it was much fun and we had a good time.

When you say Aquarium you need to more fish and aquatic life to display. Be aware you will need to wear comfortable shoes. You will be doing a lot of walking. The animal areas are spead out.

Great park. Very well kept. A little expensive but I can stomach some price gouging to help feed the animals. There are an good amount of animals in the park. And you can get closer to them than at most zoos.

It is on the expensive side considering location and maintenance of facilities. Also it can get dusty at times with people walking and carts crossing. Overall it was fun lots of animals and other activities to do.

Too many birds....need more large animals....need more larger animals to feed....the tram covered the same animals as the train plus....the train needs to be a better more interesting experience to spend an extra $6 per person on.....otherwise no need
for the train......overall a very fun day....

Amazing Zoo!! A little pricey...If your on a tight budget purchase Hickman 12pk "JUMBO" eggs at Albertson's, Bashas, Food City or Safeway. 2 for 1 coupon inside!! Helped us so we were able to go on a couple rides & enjoyed delicious lunch as well:)

Beautiful Animals Very few of the rides were in service. No shows or educational tours to describe the Animals and their history for the families... food restaurant was cash only and over priced, food was cold and wasn't that great... Probably wouldn't visit again my children weren't very happy with their experience...

This place is way too expensive for what it offers. For the price it is not kept up. There was trash everywhere on the ground , more than half the toilets do not flush and the bathrooms are dirty. They to not let you bring food in. Some of the aquarium exhibits are leaking and the carpet in front of them is wet. Several of the workers / volunteers smoke in the trucks or exhibits. We have been in the kangaroo exhibit twice when the volunteers thing there has been stoking and set off my son's asthma. I am sure that is not good for the kangaroos either when we went to the front and said something nothing was done about it. My family has had a membership for this whole year and we are so I'm happy with this the zoo we will not be buying it again. Not to mention the membership was almost four times as much as a membership to other zoos

I purchased a tickets through groupon which was an awesome deal, luckily i live about ten minutes from here. I brought my kids here just to pass the time. They loved every minute of it they even got to touch a rainbow boa named "skittles" my kids even said the wildlife learning center is by far better than the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park.

There is so much variety and diversity here. There is always staff present feeding, cleaning and taking care of the animals. Lots of interaction to keep the kids attention. Make sure you try it all! All of the animals were visible and active in their exhibits and they all looked happy and healthy. The location is beautiful and easy to find with plenty of parking!

Everything was over priced. The rides were $6 each. The rides lasted maybe 2 minutes. It was super hot with little shade provided. The playground was uncovered. There was no relief from the heat. The cafes did not have the air conditioning on. The foid was rediculously high. The animals seemed sad, depressed, and comparable to a human that is in a jail cell. The monkeys in the island of the log ride were trying to squeeze in the tiny spots of shade from some palm trees. I felt bad that many of the monkeys and birds were imprisoned in small caged areas. We spent $107 just to get in and regretted it as soon as we entered and rode the first ride. We had to leave shortly after entering because the heat was overwhelming us and the animals. Quite a boring experience. I wish we hadn;t gone.

Regular deals online or through the mail make a day's visit pretty affordable and the large variety of exhibits and animals make it worth the price. And our boys absolutely love the complimentary petting zoo!

Great zoo. Enjoy feeding the parrots, giraffe, petting zoo, and sting rays. They have many other activities too. Sea lion show, Penguin feeding, and 4 aquarium building's. Among a variety of other animals.
