Mogo is a member of the Zoo and Aquarium Association and has had success in breeding programs for endangered species, including the cotton-top tamarin, black-and-white ruffed lemur, red panda, and Sumatran tiger.

Mogo Wildlife Park exhibits a large African savanna, and a series of islands for primate species.

In November 2019, Featherdale Wildlife Park bought Mogo Zoo from former owner Sally Padey, and took over full ownership and operations from the end of that month.

As the fire approached, the town of Mogo was evacuated, but the staff chose to stay behind to protect the wildlife under their care.

Their efforts included implementing fire protection measures and maintaining the animals' welfare amidst the chaos.
