A one-of-a-kind preserve where several endangered species of animals have a chance to increase their numbers and, at the same time, allows people to enjoy their beauty and company. The commitment of the Zoo is not only to maintain a healthy atmosphere for the animals, but help them to become people-friendly: You not only can see them, but you can touch them! Over 500 animal and 80 species. More than 1/2 of the wild animals in the park at one time or another were listed on the endangered animal lists and nearing extinction. Because of zoos and animal parks like The Exotic Resort Zoo, many are multiplying and will be around for our children and grandchildren to enjoy. Located on 137 wooded acres with several small lakes and creeks for the enjoyment of animals from around the world to breed and raise their young in a natural habitat.
