What visitors say
Had the most incredible and magical experience at Wild World of Animals yesterday. I have been searching for a place that is ethical, had good reviews, and that allows you to actually pet or hold the sloths during the sloth experience…
Best CapyBirthday Ever for my 11 year old... We sat with jewels and Hansel and Gretel... And learned so much was awesome to feed them and great experience... Was able to pet a legless lizard and a snake learn about birds and meet willow…
Had such a fun time with our cappy encounter! Grant was phenomenal. Super knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Jules was a sweetheart. Chillest animals ever. Definitely a first rate operation and well worth the visit.
