John Ball Park, Savings and Zoo Park Description for 2023


The John Ball Zoological Garden houses a wide variety of animals and is an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Although the zoo was started by a donation of 40 acres in 1891, it was later taken over in 1949. The current owner bought it from the last owner on January 1st, 2023 and unified it with the John Ball Zoo Society to create the John Ball Zoo.

The new mission is to help people understand the way animals live. The zoo now provides summer camps, family and youth camps, programs, events, and educational resources. It also allows for the opportunity to rent the zoo for private events such as birthday parties, weddings, and more.
