The park was founded in 1997 and aims to display animals and birds in as natural conditions as possible. It also aims to provide educational facilities and activities, and create a sanctuary for animals that have been injured or orphaned.[1][2][3][4]

In 2020 the park recorded 79,000 visitors, a record despite the year's coronavirus pandemic.[5]
