Tanganyika Wildlife Park

Forget We Bought A Zoo!  This family built one from the ground up.  Learn more about the fascinating origins of Tanganyika and how we built a world-class collection of animals.

On August 2 of 2008 Tanganyika Wildlife Park officially opened with 15 exhibits and three interactive areas. Over the past eight years, we have grown into the third largest animal collection in Kansas, and one of the largest attractions in the state. We have over 40 exhibits featuring 10 interactive stations, over 400 animals and 37 successful breeding programs. 

Our family-owned facility right here in Goddard, KS continues to be a world leader in breeding rare and endangered species. 

The Fouts family has built one of the largest, family-owned zoos in the country from nothing. They didn’t receive any government funds or grants to build it. They did it with hard work, dedication and passion to be stewards for animals in their care and in the wild. They did it with the support of visitors like you.
