This Saturday, November 18th the zoo will celebrate nine decades in our big backyard. It is inspiring to look back at their impressive record and recall some of the landmark events that helped shaped the zoo’s goals and vision throughout the years.
Dr. Harry Wegeforth brought the Zoo into being when animals imported for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition were quarantined and not allowed to leave. The Skyfari aerial tram (left) opened in 1969.
