Out side looked a little dated, the letters on the building spelled "Wild Wo d" as two seemed to have fallen off. Besides a couple cosmetics this place was awesome, staff was extremely nice. Feeding the animals was an absolute blast. Watching my kids faces light up when a stingray pulled the food between their fingers was priceless! Arcade was free ... Some older games, but no complaints. The mini golf was very cool kids enjoyed it. Xd motion ride we rode 4 times different movies each time! Cant wait for the rollercoaster to be done, talked to the tech working on it... Sounds like its been a hell of a project but he's pretty confident it will be open in a week or so We cant wait to go back, exploring their sister facility (wild valley) tomorrow... Looking forward to that as well
Let me start by saying, this is not a zoo, This is an experience!! Zoos dont let you interact with animals like Wild World does! Staff was friendly, I asked a ton of questions some they had to call other staff members to help answer... That's pretty cool. Spend the extra money and FEED THE ANIMALS its worth every penny!! This is a privately owned facility, and you can tell the owner wants to entertain... They have a free play arcade (older) but FREE! Xd motion ride theater and a roller coaster that looks like its going to be awesome. Speaking of awesome staff, the tech stopped what he was doing (that was working on the coaster) and talked to me for about an hour on all the stuff the company had ... Haunted house, 3 Escape rooms, motion ride simulators they are building, new exhibits, new outdoor pins for some of the animals at wild world... Long story short my family and I spent 3 hours here even went to lunch and came back (reentry was free) and we plan on coming back next time we get a chance
Please don't spend your money to support this place. It was dark, smelly and the animals are kept in too small of cages/aquariums. They have signs to enter the "aquarium", but there are wolves, monkeys, dingos, etc. I have never seen an aquarium with those types of animals. I left there feeling very bad for supporting this place. Please don't spend your money here.
My young siblings I had never met came all the way from across the country to visit my son and I. While paying, it was $38 for me and my 3 year old son and we didn't even pay to feed/pet anything. No one even asked if I was a local or offered the usual local discount. For my siblings and their mothers, it was far more expensive. Horrible treatment of the animals. A worker was beating the shark tank to "get the sharks attention". The wolves were matted and dirty. They looked like they had never been brushed or given a bath, same with the mountain lion. Which the wolves were very friendly, big puppies, basically. So there's no excuse for why they couldn't give them a bath and brush them. Every animal had a tiny enclosure. All the mountain Lion, wolves, and dingos had to sleep on was a concrete floor and some hay. The enclosures for the monkeys were disgusting, feces everywhere. If PETA visited this place, they'd have a heart attack. If you're against animal cruelty, I highly recommend you stay far away from this building.
This place is sad! The animal enclosures are small, dirty and sad. The employees were very unprofessional and should be working at Walmart. The golf course was embarrassing and a waste of time. This is so sad, I can't believe this place is even open. The reviews on here must be from employees trying to keep the job they shouldn't even be at.
DONT WASTE TIME OR MONEY! This place is an absolute joke. The reviews on here are lies by employees. The staff are uneducated with the animals. Be surprised if they have an Associates degree in animal science much less a bachelors. The employees were very unprofessional, hats on backwards, baggy jeans, wannabe thugs. The worst part is that the animal enclosures are very small. It's a sad joke
The up close experience with the animals was fantastic but the staff was even better! My son has not quit talking about holding the snakes, feeding the shark, and those gorgeous wolves that he watched for probably 10 minutes! I promise it is worth the money and we will definitely be coming back!
I went here with my children and grandchildren and it was horrible! It was dirty, the water for the fish was dirty! The wolves were in a little fenced in area! Not one of us thought it was a great place especially for their outrageous prices! I would not recommend this place to anyone!
Mike and Holly REALLY showed us a great time! They made sure to answer all of the questions my 2 children had and more! Mike let us touch a live alligator (that he was holding!), and Holly fed the wolves and played with the cougar cub! We really had a great time!
The aquarium really exceeded my expectations! There were a big variety of water animals as well as land animals such as porcupines, wolves, bobcats and more. My son and I fed the giant sea turtle and stingrays which was exciting! The price is reasonable, as is the fee to feed the animals or take pics with them. The staff was also nice and answered all of our questions concerning the animals. A nice place for the whole family.
I truly loved this zoo! It was awesome, it was a little confusing and the animals didn't look the greatest and so many of them were hot, and that's why I am giving it a 4. There were very many that had cuts on them, and I don't understand why they had cuts, and you could see so many ribs on these animals, that it made me wonder about their safety, but I think someone would have intervened by now, the other thing I didn't like was there was not much walking room. There ended up being so many people, that we had to wait until the people in front of us had to go in order to go first. I know I heard someone say there was a lion and a tiger who were intertwined, which God says not to cross breed, so not sure how whoever did that is going to go over well on judgement day. I did love the different exotic animals. That was awesome because at our zoo in Toledo we don't get that many exotic animals, so my husband and I were very intrigued. It was very very cool! A lot of hands on experiences as well, I did the dingos hands on for 5$ that was amazing!! They also had a lemurs hands on experience for 15$ a person, and you could feed the sea otters, however they just had babies so we can't do that for I think he said 6 weeks. The staff were very friendly and very helpful and knowledgeable! This place was amazing and hopefully we can bring our kids back to go here if we ever come back to Branson.... Branson is not as Christian as they would have you think they were.
Had so much fun, and you can tell the staff really care about the animals too! We learned all about the Dingos, got to feed the otters, and play with the lemurs too! The staff answered any questions we had about the animals, and we got the see them putting enrichment in the enclosures while we were there. Would definitely recommend a visit here, and we even snagged a few ornaments that the otters and lemurs painted too!
