History
The land on which the zoo now stands was owned by a number of people in the early 1900s. Joseph Edward Prentice purchased the 19.23-acre (7.78 ha) site after it was foreclosed in 1929 and 1931. In 1949, he gave the city of Santa Ana 16 acres (6.5 ha) and stipulated that the zoo have at least fifty monkeys at all times. The zoo's construction began that year and it opened on March 8, 1952.  Soon after, a children's zoo was built, and the Flight Aviary, now known as the Jack Lynch Aviary, was finished in 1962.  The amphitheater was completed in 1983, and the zoo was granted AZA accreditation.  Three major events occurred in the 1990s:  The Flight Aviary was upgraded in 1990.The Flight Aviary was renamed the Jack Lynch Aviary after it was upgraded; Amazon's Edge opened in 1992; and Colors of the Amazon Aviary opened in 1996.
