List of facts we found about Hogle Zoo
On Saturday February 19th, 2005, we went to the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake
City as a family. As a family we have been to several zoos over the
years, but it was 1993 since we were at the Hogle Zoo last: it was
time for another visit.
Hogle Zoo is planning a special exhibit this summer and an
endangered-species carousel for 2008. The zoo also is considering a
holiday lights festival during Christmas time, although Dinsmore isn't
completely sold on the idea.
When Dinsmore was hired on at Hogle Zoo in 1997 from the Audubon Zoo
in New Orleans, all eyes were watching. He was replacing 32-year
director LaMar Farnsworth, who is credited with building up Hogle's
infrastructure.
Hogle Zoo originally started out in Liberty Park, which is located
between 500 and 700 East, and 900 and 1300 South in Salt Lake City.
The original exhibits consisted of deer, monkeys, an elephant, and
various North American birds and mammals.
