History

The zoo started to be planned in 1907, and opened its gates on December 13, 1909. The zoo evolved slowly in its first 40 years, while it added exhibits such as the Bear Pit in 1912. It gained more momentum when it added Monkey Island (1945), Children's Zoo 'Touchdown' (1948), Sea Lion Pool (1951), African Veldt (1954), Giraffe House (1955), and Flamingos (1957). In 1959, they began the Friends of the Zoo program. The zoo added an Otter Pool (1961), Elephant House (1962), Great Ape House (1966), Dairy Barn (1971), Great Catwalk (1972), and Gibbon Islands (1973). In 1991, after voting, the zoo grew to it's 202-acre size it is today, due to a grant. The grant made record high visitors, for it's opening of Australia (1993), International Festival (1994), and Africa (1995). The Africa section opening got a turn-out of approximately 40,000 visitors in first 2 days! A record high! A new bulding was added with the very first IMAX to be in a zoo. This and other new improvements made a record in 1998 of 700,000 zoo guests, and 400,000 IMAX visitors. The zoo went from a small one-building and 60-acre operation, to a very large 202-acre zoo filled with over 1,300 animals! The new Orangutan Primadome opened in 2002 as a part of the new management of the zoo. A major plan began to plot the zoo's next 20 years, including new imrpovements such as the Discovery Barn, which opened in 2006.

It is divided into Australia, Tiger Trail, Africa, and International Festival (now KidZone). The zoo is the 10th largest zoo in the United States.

Africa!

The Africa section is broken up into Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania, Congolese Rainforest, and Uganda. The first section is Botswana, containing the African Elephants in a 4 and a half acre exhibit. The exhibit is very long, and includes a big water pool at one end. The elepants also do paintings and demos during weekends. The Kansas City Zoo was also chosen out of many zoos to be one of a few zoos for elephant breeding, aswell as babboon breeding. The next stop is Kenya, starting with the cheetah, which sits on a hill, and includes a lookout building. Next is the warthogs, then a small dock looking out across the African savanna, allowing good view of the greater kudu, Grant's Zebra, and the very rare scimitar-horned oryx. There are ground hornbill, marabou stork, and saddle-billed stork in wetland-themed exhibits on the opposite side. Also, there is a bomas area, with huts to simulate Kenya, there are also animal exhibits in the bomas area, such as lappet-face vulture, aldabra tortoise, and blue duiker. Then, there is an aviary with many species of birds and also houses a pair of Red Ruffed Lemur. We then come into Tanzania! You can find the lions exhibit, which features a lookout building. There are small exhibits that appear carved or surrounded by rock. These include: serval, bush baby, rock hyrax, and bat-eared fox. There is then a log-themed bridge across the black rhino exhibit. A top chimpanzee enclosure is next, featuring a very vast area for the chimps to play and explore, and a lookout building. Now on the other side of the African plains, you can see the giraffe and ostrich. You then come upon some birds, the kori bustard and secretary bird. Next, there is a crocodile house, and then a hippo pool. The last are in the circle is Uganda. This section features a stage with seating. You come upon an exhibit with African wild dog in it, which alternates with jackal, depending on weather conditions. The last exhibit is baboon. The Congolese Rainforest is across a swinging bridge in Kenya. There you can find golden mangabey and black mangabey, which are monkeys.
