Zoos and amusement parks are equally quintessential destinations for family fun, and Wildlife World in Litchfield Park offers both under one roof. Get up close and personal with creatures of the land, sea, and air, then unleash your inner thrill-seeker on amusement park rides such as a roller coaster and 100-foot-tall swings. Doesn’t that sound like a fun day?
Boasting the largest collection of exotic and endangered animals in Arizona, Wildlife World Zoo is situated on a whopping 215 acres of land in Litchfield Park.
