Toronto Zoo

- Spread across more than 700 acres of the picturesque Rouge Valley, the Toronto Zoo is Canada’s premier zoological destination and welcomes visitors year-round with immersive, easy-to-access experiences that make you feel connected to the natural world—perfect whether you’ve got a couple of hours between city stops or are carving out a full day to wander its trails, picnic in leafy clearings, and soak up the scale of its many habitats. - Home to a living collection of over 3,000 animals, the zoo guides you through distinct bioclimatic regions that recreate everything from the sun-baked African Savanna to the wind-swept Arctic Tundra, giving you intimate viewing moments, excellent photo opportunities, and the chance to watch authentic animal behaviors change with the seasons as you move from one ecosystem to the next. - Along climate-controlled pavilions and raised boardwalks you’ll encounter more than static displays: a thoughtful fusion of cutting-edge conservation science and Indigenous stewardship woven into interpretive panels, talks, and programs that highlight research, breeding and rehabilitation efforts, and the zoo’s commitment to protecting species—leaving you informed, inspired, and ready to take small but meaningful steps to help wildlife.
