Dierenpark Wassenaar, Former zoological garden in Wassenaar, Netherlands
The fifteen-hectare park contained multiple animal enclosures, including spaces for elephants, tigers, and an extensive collection of tropical birds.
Established in 1937 by automobile importer Pieter Louwman, the zoo inherited several facilities from the former Haagsche Diergaarde, including its eagle aviary.
The zoo maintained active breeding programs that resulted in 508 animal births across 91 species during 1981 alone.
Visitors could participate in an animal adoption program, contributing to care costs while receiving benefits such as nameplates and annual passes.
The Paradijshal, constructed in 1961, allowed guests to walk through a large aviary where multiple bird species flew freely.
