Phase 1
Since developing the multiphase master plan, the zoo consistently has delivered on our promise to be the premier recreation and education destination in Green Country. Our successes include a fully funded and completed suite of impressive improvements in Phase 1:
- 2014 | $4 million Mary K. Chapman Rhino Reserve
- 2017 | $300,000 St. John Family Den
- 2017 | $21 million Lost Kingdom
- 2018 | $1 million Osage Casino & Hotel Giraffe Barn
Phase 1 = $26 million invested in the zoo
This $26 million investment in the zoo resulted in annual attendance growth of more than 86,400 guests, more than 3,100 new member households and nearly $475,000 in additional private events revenue.
Phase 2 promises to be even more transformative.
