It has a nice array of animals, and I enjoy it when the market is there. It is less worth the price on a single visit basis though, for a one off trip I would be more inclined to 4 or 3 stars. · via Google [Darkened_Horizon](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110721415390497461739/reviews) ★★★★★ Had a great day at the Wallaby experience and wanting to do more of them. Great day out. Even a museum to look around · via Google [Freyja Brooks](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107357877813851672773/reviews) ★★★★★ I had the pleasure of meeting Hannah, when she was feeding the wallabies at the zoo. She showed me round and really took the time to answer my questions about all the residents at Wildlife World, from Tippex the Peacock to Pablo the Kinkajou! One of the loveliest places to visit, both solo and with family and friends. I am very grateful, thank you Hannah!
