History
Animals have been exhibited at this location since 1933, when it was known as Jungleland Snake Farm.[2] Owner Gordon Gaver operated the small attraction (approx. 5 acres) until his death in 1964.[3] The facility was then purchased by Richard and Mary Anne Hahn[4] and reopened in 1966. The Hahn family maintained ownership and gradually enlarged the park.
