The zoo was founded in 1927 and is home to more than 500 live animals, including some endangered species.[2]
Space Farms hosted a large bear in captivity exhibition,[3] which showcased a Kodiak bear named Goliath, as part of a taxidermy exhibit in the main hall of the museum.[4] After his death in 1991, his skull was put on display in the Space Farms museum.
The Space Farms museum houses antique vehicles and items used during the early history of the United States, such as horse-drawn carriages and early motorcycles.[5] The vehicles are largely unrestored. There are also colonial period tools and weapons on display.
According to the zoo's website,[6] residents include African lions, black leopards, South American jaguar, cougars, lynx, bobcats, Bengal tigers, as well as Grizzly bears, Hokkaido bears, Kodiak bears, and black bears.
