Wild World is an immersive exhibit experience sharing conservation success stories from around the world. Full of life, the exhibit presents stories of wild animals and conservationists to show us why there is hope on the horizon.

Wildlife populations around the world are under enormous stress, and many species are becoming endangered while others are on the brink of extinction. But thanks to conservation efforts dedicated to animals large and small, there is much for which we can be hopeful. 

Produced by Little Ray’s Exhibitions, one of the most extensive and diverse animal education and outreach organizations in North America, Wild World is staffed by trained educators and zookeepers!

Visit the exhibit and experience:

  • Real-life success stories from a wide range of conservation organizations
  • Live animals from key international conservation programs
  • More than 15 wildly interactive science-based experiences for guests of all ages
  • A multimedia theater that brings the story of Wild World to life for visitors
  • Multiplayer challenges that make learning about wildlife fun and engaging

Animal Encounters

Live animal encounters offered guests the opportunity to meet some of the animals from the exhibit. Guests had the opportunity to learn about the animals' natural history, some of the myths and misconceptions surrounding them, and the conservation issues that they face in the wild. They also learned about ways they can help these amazing creatures! Animal encounters were facilitated by dedicated animal handlers.
