Finn Park Zoo is a zoo located in Monty Finn Regional Park in Maashkinoozhe Lake, Minnesota
History
Finn Park Zoo was built in 1964 and exhibited a variety of exotic animals such as Apes and Monkeys, Seals and Sea Lions, Tropical Birds and Big Cat Hybrids. It was extremely substandard in animal care and closed 15 years later in 1979. The owners, not wanting to lose any more money simply left the animals in their enclosures or let them loose.
The facility remained abandoned for the next 40 years crumbling away, until the ruins were discovered by Emily Greene, who had brought it the attention of Zora Greene who managed to buy the area and convince the Maashkinoozhe Lake Parks and Land Management Commission to allow the Greene Foundation to build a zoological Park.
Animals and Exhibits
Finn Park Zoo is one of the smallest parks owned by the Greene Foundation and likewise possesses a smaller collection, especially compared to parks like Green City Zoo or Maple Hills Zoo
