Great zoo, one of the best i've seen across the country. Plenty of animals, birds, and reptiles to see over a very large area. Many of the animals were active during the day.

Me and my husband really enjoyed this. We saw the sea lion show and we rode the zip line the roller coaster they have this bird ride that you control the rudder and it was really fun. All the staff treated us really good. The girl at the giraffe feeding station was rude but every single other staff was great. If you want a great day I'd highly recommend this place. When your all done exploring check out the bbq restaurant it was so good.

It’s a zoo. The keepers do their job and take care of the animals. I’m sure they’re experts in that field. They keep the grounds very clean also. It’s very large, lots too see! I walked almost 3 miles and still didn’t see it all. Over all, it’s…a zoo.
I took off 2 stars for a few things, some of which can’t be changed easily, if at all.
- The price is very high compared to other zoos. If you use Groupon, it’s cheaper.
- The location is very noisy being sandwiched between a freeway, a busy local road and an Air Force base. The jets sent noise levels up to 100dBs several times on my visit. Who chose this location? I feel bad for the animals that have sensitive hearing.
- It seems like some of the cages & aquariums were far too small for the creatures that inhabited them. Not all, but it was a repeating observation. If it ever gets a renovation, some of the bird, monkey and alligator spaces need to be at least twice as large.
- A lot of the signs were worn down and need to be replaced.
- I had a beer in one of the restaurants that made my stomach hurt for hours. Something’s not right there.
- I was going to buy a souvenir on my way out, but they close the gift shop 30 min before the whole zoo? I was 3 min too late.

It wasn’t all bad, I mostly had a nice time and I recommend it if you haven’t been. It was great interacting with some of the parrots and monkeys, haha.
I only wish some of the things above weren’t true.

This is one of the better zoos we have been to, we couldn’t see it all before our feet were too tired. Lots of walking, cute shows and great variety of animals. The one thing we didn’t like is they charge for anywhere from $3-10 for each individual ride, and there’s no ride pass. They nickel and dime you inside the park. I would recommend buying tickets through Groupon to make the visit more affordable.

Lot and lots of monkeys and birds, a lot of walking and everywhere you look is another monkey or another bird. The lions and tigers are in a cage surrounded by trees and bushes so it’s hard to find them behind all that. My sons favorite animal is an elephant which they don’t have. My daughters favorite animal is a wolf which again, they don’t have. My kids were devastated because they were looking forward to see them on our way to the zoo. The giraffes, rhino, zebras, didn’t disappoint. Our favorite part was the aquarium! Beautiful with lots to see. We loved the arctic fox, feeding the sting rays, sea lions, penguins, and much much more. Overall it was an ok experience and probably won’t be back for a very long time.

Overall a good zoo experience. Lots of animals and a massive park. A few indoor areas as well. Non paved roads so be prepared to walk on uneven ground. A little expensive but not terrible. The rides were cool but not all open and quite expensive. Overall pretty good.

Love to take my grandkids to zoo when in Surprise AZ. Giraffes are wonderful and the white rhino is majestic…

Wonderful and peaceful walk with the grandkids in a well maintained animal and amusement park with a bonus aquarium. Perfect for toddlers in strollers, and nothing scary to the little guys.

This is the best zoo experience I have ever been to. Sure it’s $48 to get in ($5 off per ticket for military) but it is WORTH IT. They have what feels like unlimited amount of birds, monkeys, all of it! Not a whole lot of ice cream stops though! The little rides they offer ($6 each) are honestly worth it! The tram ride in the top left is the best one! You go inside the habitats! Also did the zip line (two seater) ($10) which was so scary going up but going down was so smooth! The family coaster ($6) was actually intense in a good way! Overall, the experience was 10/10 and WEAR GOOD SHOES! Also! BRING QUARTERS, they have little feeding stations (. 50 each handful) for birds, giraffes, ostriches! The baby monkey was so cute sucking a it’s little thumb. Ohh also the log ride ($6) was so fun too! Aquarium was amazing.

It was my first time at the wildlife world zoo aquarium. I had a great time. The animal exhibits were great. I would come back again. This was a field trip with our Christian academy students.

My family enjoyed our time at the zoo and aquarium. We rented the rydables, did the log ride and zipline. Once inside everything is pretty much al a carte. One note, 4% fee for using credit cards, so bring cash.

The zoo was great as always! I love wild Life world zoo, more than I like the Phoenix. Especially in the Christmas Thanksgiving time I actually like wildlife world zoo, the best better than Phoenix lights

A fun and enjoyable experience! Only downside was that the refreshment stands were all pretty much closed down.

I had an amazing time at the wildlife park! The animals were incredible to see up close, especially the exotic ones. The variety of species was impressive, and I loved the interactive experiences. It's a perfect spot for a fun day out with family or friends.

Go early it can take almost 6 hours to get through everything if you take your time and want to see everything. Also bring lunch if saving money. Tickets are like $50 each, and food is expensive a Gatorade is $6 dollars. Bring cold water bottles 2 each person. And Quarters! They have feed machines for 50c everywhere!
