Wildlife World Zoo is one of the most popular exotic animal parks in Arizona, but few people know it’s also home to several amazing restaurants. One of them is Dillon’s KC BBQ, an authentic Kansas City-style barbecue joint with a 60,000-gallon shark tank inside and patio seating right next to the zoo’s flamingo habitat. It’s such a fun place to dine, and the delicious food is just icing on the cake!
Located inside Wildlife World Zoo (home to Arizona’s largest collection of exotic and endangered animals), Dillon's KC BBQ is such a fun place to enjoy a meal.
A massive, 60,000-gallon aquarium filled with all sorts of colorful marine life is the centerpiece of the room, and you'll definitely want to ask for a front-row seat. (If you're lucky, you might even spot a shark or two in the tank!)

Outdoor dining is also available, and the patio just so happens to be right next to the zoo's flamingo habitat.
