Possible names for a Prehistoric Zoo

With all the buzz surrounding the various upcoming dinosaur park games I felt inspired to make my own prehistoric zoo. I plan to house animals ranging from recently extinct to the bygone days of prehistory. Thing is, I can't come up with any names for the park. So I'm turning to you, the amazing people of the Roundtable, for help. Any name ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. :)

I'd suggest Paleo Park, but that's been done a thousand times already.

I like to use the term "palaeozoo" as a stand-in for "zoo". From there I usually just use the same rules one would use for a regular zoo- location, name of the founder, or something to that effect.

I did consider naming the zoo Prehistoria Park but it doesn't seem to have a good vibe to it. Any thoughts on it?

I've taken a liking to "Prehistorium" myself.

Prehistorium does have a good ring to it.

As a rule of thumb if I'm trying to make it seem like a normal zoo in it's own canon I typically try to avoid any note about it being prehistoric or dinosaur themed, as this denotes that a zoo with dinosaurs is something abnormal.

Good point. I'm not trying to make Jurassic Park so I see what you're saying. Any ideas on a name then? I'm open to suggestions.

I've always been fond of naming zoos after the region they're from, if you set it in a famous fossil bed for a bit of irony that would let people get the idea of the zoo without it seeming out of place in-universe.

That's a good idea but I don't think it would work for this zoo I'm planning. It's gonna be in the same vein as the Prehistoric Park miniseries.
