In 1963, the gardens became home to the UK's first captive bottlenose dolphins – one of whom was given the name Sooty after the children's TV puppet.

In 1965 the company was floated on the London Stock Exchange as ''Associated Pleasure Parks'' and, in 1968, the park was renamed to Flamingo Park Zoo. In 1968, the park purchased a killer whale from an aquarium within Se ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
