Review:
Located on 47 acres of land inside Finnup Park, the Lee Richardson Zoo is named for a Chief of Police who was instrumental in the establishment of the zoo back in 1927. The zoo started off very modestly with just two skunks but has grown by leaps and bounds and is now home to over 100 species. The zoo is divided by region and includes animals from the North American Plains, South American Pampas, and even includes a Down Under exhibit where you can see Australian animals like emus and red kangaroos. Many other animals can be admired including giraffe, rhinos and lion from Africa, red pandas and snow leopards from Asia and American cougars, jaguars and bobcats in Cat Canyon.
