Wildlife world zoo aquarium & safari park

Mickey Ollson, a teacher, founded Wildlife World Zoo on 5 acres (2.0 ha) in Glendale, Arizona, as a bird mating farm. Ollson acquired 25 acres (10 ha) of land in Litchfield Park in 1973. The zoo expanded by mating and trading wildlife with the other zoos until he “primarily had a zoo nobody could visit” by 1984. The zoo opened for business that year and expanded by buying surrounding land. The aquarium first opened in 2008, followed by the Safari Park and “American Adventure” in 2014.

The attraction of Wildlife world zoo aquarium & safari park

It is a great place for people who love nature and its charm. The zoo consists of several attraction points all way long. Whenever you visit the zoo, go for the following rides.

African safari train

Ride through the African flatlands on this 5/8-mile dramatized ride to see threatened antelope, wildebeest, birds, and much more. The cost per person is $6.

The Flume Ride (At Present Undergoing Maintenance)

The brand-new Log Flume Ride propels riders past marine animals and along the Aquarium’s south pacific coral tunnel tank – the lengthiest acrylic corridor in Arizona – before splattering down three floors!

Skyride

Take a moment to relax and take in the scenery from above the Idearc Media roller coaster. This 360-degree tour through the tops of trees takes about 15 minutes and provides an incredible vision of the park.

Safari Tram Tour

Experience real Safari Park by getting a bus ride through the native habitat of African animals such as Beisa oryx, speckled antelope, Watusi cattle, Kudu, Wildebeest, Gazelle, Addra gazelle, and Sitatunga antelope. There will also be warthogs, red river wild boars, ostriches, numerous other birds, and apes. As you travel through the savannah, the bus driver provides information about each species.

Australian boat ride

Sail “Down Under” to see bouncing red and grey kangaroos, an albino wallaby, and the world’s second-largest bird, the flightless emu. If you’re lucky, you might even notice the laughing kookaburra.

A Beautiful aquarium

Explore the wonders of marine life in our four-building aquarium, which is home to a large number of fish, amphibians, mollusks, and reptiles. Their aquarium’s South Pacific Reef corridor tank also has Arizona’s lengthiest acrylic tunnel. Tour The Wildlife World Aquarium to get as near to the world’s water lives to the fullest without getting wet!

Adventure land

Excursion Land is the latest 15-acre demonstration of animals from North, Central, and Central America, along with buffalo, grizzlies, cougars, wildcats, monkeys, and several other species, housed in several open-air and 3 indoor showcase buildings.

The map was simple to use, and you ended up seeing every pleasure. It was clever to have the log ride go through the aquarium. Intense and slightly subversive. There were many shady spots along the trails, as well as catering options throughout the complex.
