FBI File: Joe Exotic’s Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park

Background

The Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park, which is sometimes called the G.W. Zoo and formerly the Garold Wayne Exotic Animal Memorial Park, is an animal park displaying predominantly tigers and other big cats in Wynnewood, Oklahoma.

The 2020 Netflix original documentary series Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness was centered on Joe Exotic. The park received thousands of visitors following the release of the documentary. However, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt required that all non-essential businesses close because of the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 31, 2020, the Garvin County, Oklahoma sheriff said the park had closed to visitors in compliance with the governor’s order to shut down nonessential business. The park has since been reopened.
