The museum also contains the Helen L Graves Hideaway Hollow play area as well as the Earl Bane gallery, which is dedicated to traveling exhibits.

The excitement generated by these animals convinced Walker that the Salina community and surrounding area would benefit from having a wildlife park.

The animal collection, land, and equipment were donated into the newly formed foundation, Rolling Hills Refuge Wildlife Conservation Center, and construction of the zoo began in earnest.

Keeping respect of the animals firmly in mind, the museum offers guests a journey around the world while visiting seven different regions such as Africa, North America, the rain forest, and much more.

The museum opened to the public in March 2005 and has expanded the educational message of the park by exhibiting animals not found in the zoo and offering a year-round, climate controlled experience for guests.

Rolling Hills Zoo is a public, non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of wildlife through participation in conservation programs and by providing fun and interactive educational experiences.
