The Minnesota Zoo is located in the Apple Valley, Minnesota, and it is an Association of Zoos and Aquariums accredited Zoo which opened in 1978. The Zoo was pretty amazing even from the design phase, building the zoo in a rural area that was growing, which allowed them more room to grow. The zoo is run by the state of Minnesota.
