Frank Buck Zoo, Animal park in Gainesville, Texas, United States.
Frank Buck Zoo spans 30 acres within Leonard Park, presenting over 130 animals in natural habitats with elevated walking paths and observation areas.
The facility started as Gainesville Community Circus in 1930 at Fair Park before relocating to its current location in Leonard Park in 1962.
