Family-friendly and a great day visit – these Tips For Visiting the Toronto Zoo might come in handy.
The Toronto Zoo is a world class zoo located in Toronto. Lots of parking. Stroller and wheelchair rentals available. Very family friendly – restaurants, picnic areas, restrooms and baby change stations. Open 364 days of the year.
Family friendly: A super family field trip where you can see lions, tiger and bears (and more! Seriously, we spent 6 hours at the zoo and didn’t see all the animals. The Toronto Zoo has over 5,000 animals). Meet the keepers and learn from them about specific animals, what they eat and their habitats.
HANDS-ON DISCOVERY:
Touch real stingrays at Stingray (yes, it’s safe – we tried it). Explore Zellers Discovery Zone; featuring the Kids Zoo, a dynamic, Splash Island (a two acre splash pad), and the Waterside Theatre.
Ride the zoomobile, conservation carousel (pictured), camels and ponies
MEMBERSHIP: A year’s pass membership pays for itself in 2 visits!
MUST SEES: well, EVERYTHING. But especially cool are the gorillas, tigers, polar bears.
If you visit in the summer – bring a towel and your swim suit because there is a large splash pad waiting to cool your off (free with admission).
And I would be amiss if I were to leave this important tip out of Tips For Visiting the Toronto Zoo – it is a large zoo (which means lots of walking). Bring a stroller or wagon for little ones (or you can rent onsite for your visit).
