Step into breathtaking wildlife worlds—right here in Phoenix
WildXR Virtual Reality at the Phoenix Zoo!
See conservation up close in a way you’ve never experienced before. WildXR is an immersive, 360° virtual reality experience that transports you into the habitats of wildlife around the world—bringing you face-to-face with endangered animals.
What to expect:
Slip on a VR headset and journey from the Sonoran Desert to wild places across the globe with four unforgettable experiences:
Wild Wonders (Best of VR for the World): a highlights reel that brings together the most unforgettable encounters.
Savannah Dreamscape (Africa): step into the savannah for elephants and lions, with a stop to meet curious meerkats.
Northern Wilds Odyssey (North America): come nose-to-nose with gray wolves, roam alongside bison, and feel the chill near polar bears.
South American Wilds (South America): begin in the Pantanal wetlands to track jaguars and drift past capybaras, then travel south to a remote, windswept island ecosystem where penguins gather along the rugged coast.
Choose one—or experience them all.
