“This is a big milestone for the Amarillo Zoo, the animals and staff as well as for our city,” said Visitor Services Specialist for the Amarillo Zoo Kayla Sell. “Many people in our community have grown up with the Amarillo Zoo and its animals. We look forward to celebrating the past 65 years, but we are also excited about sharing new ways the community can help impact the future for the Amarillo Zoo.”
A brief history of the Amarillo Zoo: The idea for a zoo in Amarillo started in 1955, when a duck pond was built in Thompson Park. In 1957, barnyard exhibits were added utilizing a storybook theme. The name and theme was “Children’s Story Land Zoo.” In 1989 the land area was expanded to 14 acres. The theme and name changed to Amarillo Zoo. The Amarillo Zoo attracts more than 200,000 visitors annually.
