We’re Raising the Roof!
The old 28,000-square-foot barn has served first Rolling Hills Ranch and now the zoo for 30 years. With renovations, it will continue to serve the animals and staff well for many years to come.

The Past

30 years ago:

  • Used to house and care for Belgian horses
  • Contained horse stalls and working arena
  • Stored tack and feed

20 years ago:

  • Added more animals to the mix including a lioness, bear cubs, and a llama
  • Served as a holding area as new animal exhibits were added to the zoo
  • Became a warm home for zoo residents that needed indoor space in the winter
  • Used as the zoo’s commissary

The Future
The upgraded barn will meet new needs and better serve current ones:

  • Lower the ceiling and construct a wall between the animal area and arena to reduce heating costs and enable climate control for species that will reside in the barn
  • House a growing educational animal collection – an essential part of outreach and on-site programs – all under one roof
