Un-Zoos or Reverse Zoos

Pretty much any safari park is an example of this.
Your question is a little contradictory as you ask for examples of a zoo with an enclosure; yet the philosophy of the unzoo is to remove all barriers. From Tasmania Unzoo’s website:
There is now no boundary fence so the local wild native creatures can interact with our Unzoo environment, enabling you to observe wild animal behaviour without the need for captive.
You’ll observe wild possums and birds in nesting boxes, hand-feed free-ranging wallabies and wild parrots and encounter wild echidnas, pademelons, native fish in our stream and often wild sea-eagles as you join our guides to explore our bushland environment.
Like @birdsandbats says, to give examples of open range exhibits - there’s multiple safari parks; as well as freeflight aviaries.
Hamilton Zoo also has a large open air wetlands exhibit, where there’s nothing to stop wild water fowl etc. from flying in and out.
Six Flags Great Adventure's Safari has a section called "Conservation Area" for native wildlife. It's really just a fancy way of saying the land was too marshy to be developed and turned into anything, so they let it grow wild. You're in your car, you're not going to see much of anything through the thick vegetation, and there's a high fence to the immediate left of the road so nothing is going to run in front of your car.
