1 / 3Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park
📍 Litchfield Park, AZ
Wildlife World spans three connected attractions — zoo, aquarium, and safari park — with over 600 exotic and endangered species. Daily sea lion shows, giraffe feeding, lory parrot encounters, and a kangaroo walkabout are scheduled throughout the day.
Bring your walking shoes 👟. Every hour an attraction so be prepared to travel briskly to each event. Kids loved the close encounters and feedings to the Lory Parrots, Giraffes 🦒,and Sea Lions. The must see is the baby pigmy Hippo...... Attractions start ending after 3pm so choose wisely on which event in which order to see. The Log ride, Safari and Train ride ends at 530pm so do those last. The Sky ride was slow and in the sun 🌞 all day so we skipped that one. Ate Pizza 🍕 at The Slice kids loved 😍 it. Too much to see in the 8 hours we were there. Didn't get to half the park. Definitely recommend going back to see more. Every ride has additional costs. For a family of four we spent 6 dollars per person per ride. We spent somewhere between 400-500 including admission 🎟️,almost every ride, attractions, food, and gift shop. Free parking.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Built for families who want a full-day animal immersion with kids aged 4 and up. The sheer scale and variety of encounters — feeding giraffes, walking with kangaroos, watching sea lions — makes this more engaging than a standard zoo visit. Comfortable walking shoes are essential; the grounds require several miles of walking.

“We’re visiting from Illinois in February so it was fantastic to get away from the cold and snow. We had a great time at the park. We watched the sea lion show and the wildlife show. We got to feed apples to the birds, and saw many great exhibits. Very clean, very beautiful park. And very big as we didn’t get to see all of it. My wife and I and our two daughters also want to mention how great Jordan was (Jordyn, sp?). She was very friendly, informative, and seemed to love her job there. Thank you for the great experience at the zoo there. I highly recommend this place!”

“Just absolutely amazing. Best zoo I've been at. The sheer number of animals and different species is breath taking. I've been driving past this place almost everyday, not realizing how much has been tucked away or of plain sight. The free roaming nature of this zoo is what sets it apart from the others. Really mimicking the natural habitat of a wild animal. My kids loved the sea lion show. Staff is ultra friendly. We spent hours here and still didn't see everything, so we'll be back.”

“We had such a great time! Kids and adults all loved it, amazing diversity of animals and they are obviously very well cared for. The park is clean, well labeled and there is plenty to do. My only complaint would be the prices of the food onsite. I’m not paying 15 dollars for a cheeseburger from a snack bar, nor am I paying 8 dollars for a soft pretzel. We opted to eat before and after our trip instead :-)”
