Sunset Zoo, City zoo in Manhattan, Kansas, United States
The zoological park spans multiple acres with themed sections including African Trail, Australian Walk-About, Kansas Plains, and Expedition Asia housing 300 animals.
The Works Progress Administration provided initial funding in 1933 to construct animal exhibits, facilities, and walkways using native limestone materials.
Dr. E.J. Frick dedicated 43 years of volunteer service to develop the zoo's collection and establish proper animal care standards.
During winter months from November through March, the zoo welcomes visitors daily between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM with special rates.
The zoo maintains a collection of endangered species including Malayan tigers, Eastern black-and-white colobus monkeys, and red pandas in specialized habitats.
