The land the park sits on was purchased by the city of St Paul, in 1873 but it wasn’t until 1887 that it started being developed into what is now the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory. The park is an area of 300 acres which today consists of a zoo that at one time only consisted of a few deer, Cebu cattle, foxes, two buffalo and elk. Over the many years the zoo and conservatory has been developed and expanded to include many more animals such as; orangutans, gorillas and tigers as well as several different kinds of plants, a carousel, concessions and picnic area.http://www.comozooconservatory.org/como_park/amenities/history.shtml
