In 1980, Jim Andelin, then 27 years old, began collecting animals. This hobby turned into a full-time profession, and eventually land was allocated solely for his collection. The zoo was opened to the public on April 22, 1995, and was home to 167 animals of 15 species at the time. Many animals were donated to the zoo; in 1999, the zoo received 38 animals.
