A zoo is a place that we keep animals so that people can see and interact with animals that they would not normally be able to in their every day lives. They are located usually in very urban areas such as cities so that people, especially children can see unusual and different animals from all parts of the world.
Well, the traditional place that people go to see animals and creatures from far flung places would be a zoo. 'Zoo' is a shortened version of 'zoological garden' which is a place where animals are collected so that they may be viewed by the public.
On a different scale, an area may be allocated as a sanctuary or reserve for animals. Such animals may be protected species such as elephants and lions and the public may view the creatures by 'going on safari' in such locations as Africa or India.
In Queensland, Australia we have Australia Zoo. This is a place that looks after a variety of animals, not only to show the public but with the aim to raise awareness of the plight of some animals.
Zoo is the shortened version of Zoological Garden.
Another place that we have is a Wildlife Sanctuary, these types of places mostly help with the rehabilitation of injured wildlife. For instance we often have kangaroos that have been hit by cars or injured birds. These animals are rehabilitated and released back into the wild. Some wildlife sanctuaries also work with the public to raise awareness to protect these animals.
There are different types of places that have different animals. The most common one is a Zoo. It is usually in the city and has lots of different animals to see in their enclosures.
A safari park has wild animals in bigger enclosures and you can drive a car around the enclosures to the animals in there natural environment. For example, tigers, giraffes, rhinos, monkeys
A farm has animals known as livestock, They are cows, sheep, goats, chickens and horses.

The most popular term for "an establishment that has a collection of many animals to display to the public" would be a zoo. It can also be called an animal sanctuary or a wild life park.
An animal sanctuary is mostly where they take care of injured animals or animals that are close
to extinction. These are mostly used for the protection of the animals.
Zoo or wildlife park are mostly for the public's entertainment. Most of the animals were born in captivity so they are kept in a zoo to protect them from the wild environment.
A zoo is a place where the public can pay to see wild animals kept in captivity. A zoo can be a sad place if the animals aren't kept in good conditions, but generally people especially children love a trip to the zoo.
