WOW, UNBELIEVABLE and simply AWESOME … WHAT AN EXPERIENCE are just some of the comments offered by those who have visited The Wildlife Zoo Aquarium and Safari Park. It’s simply a fun place for you to enjoy, or take the entire family. A local landmark for over 30 years, and without question the pride of the West Valley. It has been a Valley favorite for both visitors and locals alike, and it is open 365 days of the year from 9 AM – 6 PM. And it all comes with a thousand thrills and a million more smiles.
This great venue and attraction continues to be ranked as Arizona’s # 1 ZOO. It boasts Arizona’s largest collection of exotic and endangered animals (6,000 to be exact), 600 different species, tons of fun rides, a petting zoo (a favorite of young and old alike) along with 8 fabulous shows that are performed daily. Every year new exhibits and animals are added, and 2020 is no exception as the Zoo has 3 new Rhinos and 20 new species to see.
The Zoo is an expansive site, with snack bars, restaurants, gift shops and washrooms situated throughout the grounds which are meticulously maintained. It’s simply a fun place to take you or the entire family, and it’s easy to spend an entire day visiting the many different attractions offered. The Zoo is quite different from other Zoo’s, because you can really get up close and personal with so many of these beautiful animals. Ride the train through Safari Park, or the Sky Ride over the park.
The Zoo is packed with Lions, Tigers, Jaguars, Cheetah’s, Kangaroos, Rhino’s, Zebra’s, Monkey’s, Bison, Giraffes (which you can feed at the giraffe feeding station) exotic birds and so much more. And don’t forget to visit the Aquarium where you can see over 75 indoor exhibits featuring river monsters, sharks, piranha, fish and sea lions, or enjoy what I call the petting pool for stingrays, a hands-in-the-water experience that everyone loves. Or maybe you will enjoy Dragon World that showcases reptiles including a rare white alligator and a saltwater crocodile. The Zoo has a new mining experience where you can experience a bit of the “Old West” by panning for gold, gems and fossils.
