Over 100 Years of Wildlife in Watertown
BRAMBLE PARK
ZOO by Alana Snyder
Since 1912, South Dakotans and visitors have had the chance to “come closer” to over 600 animals representing 130 species from around the world at the Bramble Park Zoo in Watertown. Zoo director Dan Miller, who has been there for 33 years, gave me, along with Katherine Danforth of the Watertown Convention & Visitors Bureau, a behind-the-scenes-look at the popular attraction. “The mission of Bramble Park Zoo is to come closer to the natural world around us,” said Miller. “We allow our guests the opportunity to come face to face with tigers, snow leopards, lemurs, monkeys, birds, fish, and reptiles.”
