History

Binder Park Zoo is a zoo located in Battle Creek, Michigan, in the United States. The zoo was founded in 1975 by a group of local residents who wanted to establish a cultural and educational institution that would also promote conservation of wildlife and their habitats.

Originally, the zoo was situated on a 50-acre plot of land, and it featured only a handful of animals, including a few exotic birds, monkeys, and some domestic animals like pigs and goats. However, as the zoo gained popularity and support from the community, it expanded and improved its facilities and animal collection.

In the 1980s, the zoo introduced its first large animals, including a pair of tigers, a pair of lions, and several other species of big cats. Throughout the following decades, the zoo continued to grow and develop, adding new exhibits and attractions, such as an African savanna, a wild bird aviary, and a reptile and amphibian house.
