1980s

"Taken from outside the lion enclosure showing the "drive-in feature" where visitors would drive into the lion enclosure and watch the lions being fed from inside their car. A cage pulled by a vehicle had a zoo keeper inside, feeding the animals who often climbed on top of the cage." - Contributor's note
