Micke Grove Zoo, Animal sanctuary in Micke Grove Regional Park, California.

The Micke Grove Zoo spans 5 acres within a 132-acre park, featuring native and exotic species in naturalistic habitats surrounded by oak trees.

The zoo opened in 1957 following the Micke family's donation of 258 acres to San Joaquin County, with William C. Hoegerman constructing the initial exhibits.

The facility provides educational programs and zoo camps for San Joaquin County students, teaching about wildlife conservation and animal behaviors.

Visitors can access the zoo daily except for Christmas Day, with parking fees of $5 on weekdays and $6 on weekends at Micke Grove Regional Park.

The zoo participates in international Species Survival Plans, including breeding programs for Golden Lion Tamarins and Chilean Pudu deer.
