Wanneroo Lion Park, Safari zoo in Wanneroo, Australia
The Lion Park featured open-range areas where visitors drove through sections containing lions that approached and climbed onto vehicles during their safari experience.
The park opened in 1971 through a partnership between the Bullen brothers, television station TVW7, and Michael Edgley following the closure of Bullens Circus.
The facility participated in community events by sending lion cubs to regional festivals and contributing to Telethon broadcasts on Channel 7 television.
Visitors needed to keep their car windows closed and secure loose vehicle parts, as lions frequently interacted with windscreen wipers and tires during tours.
The facility maintained 32 adult lions and four cubs in two separate prides, making it the only open-range zoo to operate in Western Australia.
