World Wildlife Zoo Reviews

So much better than a regular zoo. Love eating by the pink flamingos!! BBQ and birds! Total bliss!

I absolutely love this zoo! It is very pricey but the experience is worth it! My daughter is 5 and there was more than enough to do! We love this place!

Animals seem happy and there is lots of shade for the kids. Pretty pricey but you can easily spend the full day there and not see everything.

Love it yet still not a good value for your money compared to other zoo's and the rides are over priced

Fantastic zoo
So large you almost can't see it all in a day

So much better than the Phoenix Zoo! It doesn t look like much from the freeway, so I was shocked at how large it actually is once inside. Plan to spend an entire afternoon or day here, wear walking shoes, sunscreen and clothes that you don t mind getting dusty (the paths are flat but they are dirt paths). Also bring spare change to feed the animals from the animal vending machines. Next time I will be packing my own food to eat instead of purchasing the mediocre, overpriced food, but I can t complain with the overall experience. I ll be going back soon!

Truthfully I much prefer the Phoenix zoo over the wildlife world zoo. It seemed like the park was in need of repairs in quite a few areas.

Better than the Phoenix Zoo. I also like the Phx zoo tho :)

I thought it was very nice about the entire aquarium area

Great variety of animals and shows. Disgusting bathrooms. Over priced rides. OK food. (Unless you eat at Dillons BBQ located on site)

Super fun place to take the whole family and interact with each other new rides and new animals the Safari tour was amazing and we were able to see the animals up close.

so much fun with a 4 yr old lost of animals out to see

This was a really fun zoo. I went for a field trip and my group and I had the best time ever. There were lots of animals and Cafe's. There were also some baby animals. I got some fries and a cookie dough ice cream from one of the Cafe's. There were some rides there, but the roller coaster wasn't open. Something interesting that they have is a walk through kangaroo exhibit. The kangaroos can hop along the path with you. There were even some joey's! Overall, I would definitely recommend to families.

Awesome place. Hours of walking around! Kinda spendy.

Love comming here with the family. Friendly workers and a fun place to have a great time with the family.

Had a large group of friends and they treated us like a group of fast and friendly

Don't waste your money on a facility that invests in adding more animals rather that caring for the ones they already have and expanding their enclosures. Even just driving by this zoo makes me sick with the conditions the bison and gazelle are being forced to live in. Can I suggest you invest in an animal sanctuary (like Out of Africa) that is rescuing animals instead of harming them like this place.

Very open and the inviting. Staff was very attentive and knowledgeable

When we first started coming to this zoo, it took maybe two hours to go through. Now, give yourself a full day. Bring lunch and enjoy the train as it goes by every so often. The Safari ride and the train are great ways to get up close to many of the animals. Not crowded at all. All around, a really great day.

Good thing I had a free pass. This Zoo is horrible. The enclosure are way small, very dirty, some of the animals looked sick especially the Macaws. It was all dirt, no grass or trees for the animals. Some animals were so sad looking it made my family sad. And the train? I feared it would break down and we'd get eaten by an ostrich! Because it kept stalling out. They did have some unusual animals, but really, no boundary between humans and kangaroos? you could literally reach out and touch the zebras. And the poor jaguar mom who's baby is in another part of the zoo! This zoo is an accident waiting to happen, unless it already has. Save your money (it's expensive) and go to the PHX Zoo if you want to see animals. I gave it a one star because we did buy a cute penguin at the gift shop.

The wildlife zoo is always a fun time. A bitt hot in the summer but definitely worth getting the year membership for those fresh cloudy days.

My children loved the wild life zoo..I chaporoned a field trip.it was alot of walking and some places dusty but very enjoyable for my little ones...vending machines were extremely over priced also the snack bars..3.00 for a 12 oz Iccee..smh..really...3.50 for a small Gatorade..and one machine ate my 2.00...eat before and after somewhere else!

Happy for a west valley zoo. Havent gotten on the rides. Plenty of safe interaction opportunities for the kids. Reasonable gift shop with pretty good selection. Dillons onsite is a plus.

Can spend all day here. They have a big selection of animals to see. Drinks and food is really expensive though.

I've been taking my kids here for years. It's alot smaller than the Phoenix Zoo, but more convenient if you live in the west valley. It seems to grow every year. They add more attractions and animal exhibits. It's a must visit place, if you have kids.

I wanted to spend my 50th birthday with flamingos and my fantastic friends and boyfriend made it happen. I actually like this place a little better than the Phoenix zoo because it's an animal rescue and rehab facility. It's a little pricey to get in, $150 for four people, but that goes to help rehab animals so I'm happy to help out.

Great place to take the family. Animals well cared for. Very clean and friendly.

There website says open. We drove down there and it's closed cause of COVID-19. They should change there webpage then

I ve been going here for years. Great zoo that has come very far! You will see a wide variety of animals and tons of bird. Always check out the nursery to see what babies they have!

Pricey, extemenely bad smells in multiple exhibits, gross water for animals to use, bathrooms were gross and dirty, the place was rundown, multiple animals seemed stressed and not well kept, muddy walkways, food/snacks expensive, rides not included with entry fee, and very disappointed. Would not recommend

Loved it...plenty of animals that you can see up close..

Loved it... You don't have to walk so far to see the animals. The rides are great, my youngest (4 yrs old) enjoyed them. I would suggest taking in your own food. Food there isn't so great and is over priced. However all profits go to the zoo so that is good. I would definitely recommend going.

Great place to spend a day with the family! The aquarium is my favorite part, they have a little pool where you can pet the rays!

Very expensive to get in then there are so many extras to feed the animals, and some of the enclosures are a little small for the animals The(monkeys, big cats, big birds). The live animal show was very short, but the have a petting zoo where you can pay to feed the critters, but feeding the lorakeets was free.

We don't hate these places at all my heart encourages them for all hearts enjoyments!

Huge zoo amazing for a day out and about but make sure it's a cooler day and bring snacks. You will be paying higher prices for food and drinks

Zoo was great. My wife and daughters and I enjoyed our time. Down part is the Rides are expensive! $6 per person per ride.

I loved it there all the fascinating animals and Dillions barbeque food was out of this world and the wait staff was very good also.

This is by far, the best zoo in Arizona. The animals are close up. The atmosphere is intimate. The animals are well cared for. The price is comparable to the Phoenix Zoo, maybe a bit more, but oh so worth it! I would always recommend avoiding zoos when any school is on vacation, weekends and holidays. If you want a peaceful, quiet experience, go during the week when school is in session.

Love this Zoo easy map and easy to walk around. I love how all the animals are close to see

The zoo is smaller, and obviously doesn't have the money of a larger zoo, however the animals are right there to be enjoyed. You don't have to play "I Spy' to try and find the lions and tigers. The Aquarium is wonderful, modern, and interactive. Overall a wonderful family experience.

Looked sad, indoor aquarium had odors. The only good part was feeding the you giraffes and the train ride. The train driver was outstanding.

Im concerned about people there being caring for the people like the lady that got badly hurt in her arm and that shouldn't happen at a zoo and the barriers should be either higher up or put heavy glass there half way up and your not in the wild and granted the lady past the barrier ,but the fence should not be that wide for her to get her arm or hand into and that is a problem that barrier obviously and fixing it would be a start ,so this doesn't happen again and maybe lowering the price to get in and the rides too and I've had problems in the past there and fixing some of the problems would help too

Great place to spend the day with family. Rides and food are a bit pricey though and the cash-only policy inside the park can be an inconvenience. Still, employees are friendly, there are lots of interesting animals to see, and it never feels crowded...even when the parking lot is overflowing.

I prefer the Aquarium over the Zoo. While the zoo is simple the animals and lay out isn t anything to rave over. The aquarium on the other hand contains wonderful fish, a Dillion s and a cute little Sea Lion show.

Best zoo in the valley. Lots of great interaction with the animals and the animals are all well cared for and loved by the staff.

I like this place. Apart from enjoying with the family, it is also a place of relaxation. enjoy it.

Privately owned, fun and if preferred, relaxing pace to enjoy a family friendly zoo with optional rides.

The staff were all wonderfully sweet and engaging; I implore everyone to visit the sting ray aquarium where you can pet and feed the little critters. Regina was the zoo keeper in charge of the sting rays and was tremendous fun to learn and converse with : ]

Displays get better with every visit(every 2 years or so). There are improvements to be made but I am confident the Zoo will get there!

As someone that's been going tho this zoo for years and years, Im so happy to see how much this place has grown. My family really enjoyed our recent trip here and can't wait to come back

Wildlife Zoo was so much fun! The exhibits we're great! The aquarium had some awesome experiences as well! My kids loved feeding the stingrays!

Tons of animals maybe too many birds but lots to see love the petting zoo! Take your own food and drink to save money especially water!

Great old zoo getting some upgrades. Small log ride for the kids. We loved the otters! Hands on in the aquarium. Food better than some but not a lot of options which is par for zoos.

Great time with family. Food there is very expensive and not very good.

LOVE!! this zoo. A little pricey but my family and I had a great time.

I love going here a little more than the phoenix zoo, only because you get a closer look at the animals and you get to see all the baby ones they take care of too! Plus, its been a while since ive been to the phoenix zoo but last time I went they charged to touch the mantarays but its free with zoo admission here!

Probably the best zoo I've ever seen. So much to see and do.

Unique zoo, aquarium and now rides with a Dillon's Barbecue Restaurant with large aquarium and flamingo views from the seating areas.

Great small town zoo with big city exhibits! Up close and easy to see and experience animals of all kinds. Only downside is its ALL CASH for everything!

This place is amazing. They have every animal you can imagine, except for a large diversity of salt water fish. No kidding. The sea lion show was good, but they are young and still learning. The varieties of birds are beyond any expectation. We intended to go for a half day and stayed until closing time.

This place was amazing. There was so much to do, the kids had a blast. I highly reccomend the Tram ride, our driver was so knowledgeable. We learned so much. I reccomend saving the birds and primates for last. Their area is covered very well by the trees. It would have been better to visit them as the weather got hotter. It was awesome getting up close and personal with the animals. The kids really loved their lunch at The Safari Grill Cafe. Prices were very reasonable for a zoo. Kids meals came with a large quantity of food, a drink and a large cookie. Plenty of food for my kids who have rather large appetites. The Aquarium had such a huge variety of beautiful sea creatures. We will definitely be back.

Went on probably the hottest day of the year and still had fun.

I like this place better than the Phoenix Zoo but it is so expensive. We bought a membership but all that gets you is in the door. You cannot even buy a guest pass! There is no family membership either. It is nice, well kept up, and clean.
