Despite its name, you won’t find spacecraft or alien creatures at Space Farms. Founded in 1927 by Ralph Space, this family-run attraction features one of the largest private collections of wild animals in the United States and an eclectic museum of curiosities and artifacts from rural America. Zoo habitats offer thrilling close-up views of a remarkable variety of animals, including badgers, bears, bobcats, hyena, foxes, jaguars, lemurs, lions, tigers, wild ponies, and wolves. Buy a bag of animal crackers and you can hand-feed bison, deer, elk, goats, and llama. Be sure to peek into the snake exhibits to see hundreds of slithering serpents, including a 225-pound python! Eleven museum buildings showcase a wide-ranging collection of Americana, including antique cars, farm equipment, dolls and toys, firearms, and Native American artifacts. Standouts include a complete miniature circus and a mid-1800s Prairie Schooner that a local pioneering family used on a 4,000-mile journey to Kansas.

I don't have any guides of this zoo. Does any body know if they made any guides? And where I can get those?

In the years 1952, 1977 and 2002 they had theire anniversarrys. Have they made any books on this occassion?
