The zoo was set up in 1970 as Beerwah Reptile Park by Bob and Lyn Irwin, and their son took over in 1991 before renaming it in 1992. And it's that son that made the zoo an international tourist attraction. This is partly due to the improvements he made, but mainly due to him becoming an international celebrity; he was Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin. The zoo is now owned and managed by Steve's widow Terri.
