zoological park
Wildlife exhibition grounds
A zoological park is a facility where wild animals are kept for public display, conservation, and study—a formal term for what most people call a zoo.
The phrase appears in official names and scientific contexts: the Bronx Zoological Park, research conducted at the zoological park.
