The site opened as the Vancouver Game Farm on Aug. 20, 1970.
It was operated as a family business by Pat Hines and his wife Ann, then their daughter Eleanor and husband Hugh Oakes until it was sold to new owners in 1991.
The Game Farm then became known as the Greater Vancouver Zoological Centre, adding new animal enclosures, the miniature train, picnic park and other features.
In 1999, the name changed again to the Greater Vancouver Zoo.
