Finally, the real zoo opened on Saturday July 7, 2007.

In 1957, a zoo opened with approximately 300 animals.

The zoo opened its doors on June 27, 1925.

Officials hope the new zoo will open in the summer of 1997.

The zoo opened in its current location on 22 August 1953, with 143 animals representing 69 species.

The zoo at its current site opened on July 3, 1959.

In 1982, the zoo opened its new aquatic animal building to the public.

In 2009, the zoo opened the new Africa exhibit, nearly doubling its size.

It was early and the zoo hadn't opened yet to the public.

Any adjustments that need to be made for their comfort will take place before the zoo opens.
