We try different farms each year, trying to find "the one." This one was okay. It is big and has…read moreplenty to do. A con is that the smaller kid activities is way on the other side from the bigger kid activities so if you have kids of different ages, you have one bored and just hanging until the other is done in their section. The food was decent for the most part. The funnel cake bites, turkey leg, and kettle corn were good. The elote corn was eh. The food was decently priced. To get in is $20 each which to me, is a little pricey. There should be kid pricing in my opinion. Parking is ok. They did let a car in front of us hold the line up to wait for a car to leave but when we tried to do it, they made us move. Understandable but rules should be the same for everyone. Most staff was nice. On the way out, they asked about taking a family photo. We declined. My son was on the props I guess (it wasn't labeled and no one was there taking pictures) and one staff was like "this is where we take our pictures just so you know." That was interesting. Maybe post a sign. Not my top pick, but it was a decent time.

We stopped by the zoo a few months ago and wanted to give a review of all the amazing animals and…read morethe fantastic staff! We have been here a few time over the years. We love the conservation efforts Wildlife World zoo does and does consistently. They are always trying to improve living quarters for the animals. They always have many toys for the birds, which is so great to see, since exotic birds need lots of metal stimulation. We fed the lorikeets this time around and that was so fun and beautiful. We can't wait until we stop in again for a fun day trip to The Wildlife World Zoo.

Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park is not a "quick stop" zoo -- it's a full-on adventure…read moreday. First of all, this place is massive. You need time, comfy shoes, and realistic expectations because there is SO much ground to cover. Zoo, aquarium, safari park -- it really does feel like three attractions in one. The aquarium section honestly surprised me. That massive prehistoric-looking fish (looked straight out of a dinosaur era) was unreal. Between the giant tanks and the variety of species, it didn't feel like a small add-on -- it felt like a legit aquarium experience inside the zoo. The animal variety is wild. We saw everything from vibrant macaws perched up high greeting guests, to monkeys lounging in the sun, to antelope practically close enough to admire their horns in detail. The white tiger was stunning, and the big cats pacing in their enclosures definitely command your attention. You're not just looking at one or two showcase animals -- there's a LOT here. It's not super polished or ultra-modern like some major metro zoos, but that's kind of the vibe. It feels expansive, a little rugged, very Arizona. More spread out, less theme-park aesthetic. A couple things to note: it can get warm and it's a lot of walking. Food options are typical park-style fare -- nothing I'd go out of my way for. Pricing can add up with admission and extras, so plan accordingly. Overall, a solid four stars. If you're looking for a full day with serious animal variety -- from aquarium tanks to safari species to big cats -- this place delivers. Just come prepared to explore.

Initially, they replied right away on Facebook Marketplace asking for my preferred date. However, after I responded with my details and asked about pricing, packages, and whether they offered an on-site venue, they completely ghosted me. Over the next two weeks, I sent multiple polite follow-up messages asking for information and even inquiring if it would be better to reach out via phone or email. I finally tried calling their business number directly and left a voicemail, but I still have not received a single response. Planning a special event requires reliable vendors, and the complete lack of communication and basic customer service from this business is highly unprofessional. I would not recommend wasting your time trying to book with them, as they clearly do not prioritize potential clients.

We had my daughter's birthday party here today and we're pretty disappointed. We just did the…read moreunicorn encounter because we were doing a small group with just a few kiddos. The whole reason we did this for her birthday is because my daughter is a strong believer in unicorns and absolutely loves them. Upon arriving the kids immediately noticed the "unicorn" and his horn was lopsided, falling off of his head. My daughter went up to the employee and told her that the horn was falling off. Later she told me that it broke her heart it wasn't a real unicorn. If you have a group coming specifically for a unicorn encounter that unicorn should be ready and looking magical as can be for their arrival. Additionally, the second reason we chose this experience was because the website said you would get to hold bunnies. My daughter loves bunnies and told me all leading up to the party that she couldn't wait to hold a bunny. The employee did NOT let the girls hold bunnies at all, she only let them pet the bunny. It also said they would feed alpacas, sheep, and goats. They didn't have the girls feed any animals at all. In fact no one was guiding through the process at all aside from a lady taking the girls in a circle twice on the pony. Then she disappeared for a long time until she finally came back out and brought out one bunny for them to pet. The AC was not turned on in the castle until we were about to leave and it was 2:30 in the afternoon so almost 100 degrees outside. Overall very disappointed and would not recommend going here. We paid $125 for the kids to basically run around a farm for an hour in 100 degrees. The reviews had been so great saying they make it a magical experience and sadly the magic was exactly what we were missing today.

Nothing beats a small petting zoo, in your own backyard! Who knew such a thing exists. Grass is preferred (animals love grass). Hope your event is as successful as ours. Enjoy!

December 3, 2024 - Witmann, AZ…read more We stayed here overnight as part of the Harvest Host Program for RVers. I learned so much from owners Sandi and Chuck. They showed us around their ranch, and introduced us to their Alpacas, which are the cutest animals. It is a very personal visit, because all the Alpacas have names and different personalities. We even got to see a newborn (3 hours old). I very much enjoyed our visit and learning about the Alpacas. There is a store on the ranch, and there was an Alpaca rug I really wish I would have bought. The owners could name each Alpaca that contributed to the sections of the rug. I did buy some socks that I am wearing right now. I LOVE these socks. They are so soft and warm. Go visit, and definitely stop in at their store.

Desert Mirage Alpaca Ranch, Wittmann, AZ - December 3, 2024 - Harvest Host…read more We arrived on a Tuesday afternoon about 3:30 pm. They ask that you give them an approximate arrival time and call about 10 minutes before you arrive. You also need to follow the directions the host gives you to get to their place. We were heading southeast on Hwy 60. Jomax Road didn't show up on gps, but that's the road you should turn on going west and on to N 191 Rd and on to their property. Proprietor Sandi opened the gate when we arrived and told us where to park. After we got set up, Sandi, and her husband Chuck, showed us around the ranch, introduced us to their alpacas, which all have names (must have been more than 40). We were fortunate to see a newborn alpaca. It was only about an hour and a half old and could already walk. It knew instinctively that it should be getting some milk from its mom. Sandi and Chuck shared interesting information about alpacas and their ranch operation and took us in to their store. Their items include rugs, clothing items, and more. We bought some alpaca socks for the whole family. Alpaca wool is warmer than sheep's wool. It's hypoallergenic, anti microbial, breathes better, and wicks moisture better than sheep's wool. Can't wait to try them under my boots in the snow! We had a restful night's sleep; however, beware that you can hear traffic that's about a half mile away on the freeway, and a few long haul trains do go by in the distance as well. We have background noise apps on our phones and play wave noises which block out freeway noise. It has worked pretty well for us at quite a few places as long as the noise isn't too close. There is also a faint barnyard animal smell as you might expect. That didn't bother us at all, but it might be something to consider if that kind of thing bothers you. Definitely a fun and educational experience and stop!
