“Conservation is at the core of our beliefs. Our parks, along with our very valued guests, allow us the opportunity to make a huge impact on saving species globally,” cited Eric Mogensen, CEO of Zoofari Parks Corp.

“Our successes are fueled by our guests and their visitation. Although 2020 was a challenging time for many, our parks provided a safe and pleasurable escape for many families. Making a personal connection with our animals, while assisting us with conservation programs, provides a win-win for all.”

Founded in 2010, the privately owned and funded park now welcomes guests from all over the country each year.
