About Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park

💬 What Parents Say

  • 💡Wear comfortable walking shoes and arrive early to prioritize high-demand attractions. Plan to see Log Ride, Safari, and Train Ride last since they close at 5:30pm. Most other attractions end by 3pm, so map out your route strategically to avoid missing must-sees like the baby pygmy hippo and animal feedings.
  • 💡Budget $400-500+ for a family of four including admission, food, and attractions. Each ride costs approximately $6 per person, and onsite food is expensive ($15 burgers, $8 pretzels). Consider eating before or after your visit to save significantly on meals.
  • 💡Plan for 8+ hours to see the entire park—most visitors don't complete it in one day. The park is open 365 days a year, but hours vary seasonally: October-May opens at 9am; June-September opens at 8am. Visit during cooler months if possible, as the Sky Ride is in direct sun all day.
  • 💡Don't miss the interactive animal experiences: Lory Parrot Feedings, Giraffe Feedings, Sea Lion Shows, and the Sea Lion Kissing Booth (February 6-16). These close encounters are highlighted as favorites by families and require attendance at specific show times.
  • 💡Book animal encounters and birthday parties in advance. The Kangaroo Walkabout is closed weekdays June-September, so plan accordingly if visiting during summer months. Daily shows including Wildlife Encounters and Penguin Talks provide educational value beyond just viewing exhibits.
