Carolyn Spencer with Bayou Realtors confirmed a new buyer is under contract to make the purchase.
She said the original owners worked to build the attraction for over 30 years, so they were selective in choosing a new buyer with the intent to keep the zoo open.
Spencer said the new owners wish to remain anonymous at this time.
