Toronto Zoo

The zoo is a fun place for families and friends. Wear comfortable walking shoes, stay hydrated and have fun. There is lot of food and drinks on sale throughout the 700 acres of land. There is adequate parking. Lots of picnic areas, washrooms and vending machines throughout. It's definitely worth it to buy your tickets and parking online to avoid the lines. When it's too hot, the animals tend to stay in their enclosure or just lie around. Still always a great place to spend time with the family.

Get a 20% discount on admission when you give them your presto card seems like a better option than buying online/in advance if you don’t mind a little bit of a wait. Had a fun 5 hours and 20000 steps in. There were a few animals off display because it was too hot out. Would recommend bringing lunch, snacks, and a refillable water bottle. There are a bunch of benches to eat at and water refill stations. Their signage and map was easy to navigate. They also had fun facts and other signs which were educational and nice if you take the time to read.

We did the bush camp one wild night. And our guides Jasckson and Nathalie were absolute gold from start to finish. So much knowledge they shared with us about the park and the animals. The experience and behind the scenes with the animals are worth every penny. The accommodations were awesome in the tent and slept so good and even heard the lions roaring during the night. Next day we did the zoo and ran out of time so much to see and do. Zoo mobile was awesome and help out in the rain. Tons of restaurants on site and bathrooms were really clean. Everyone was super pleased with their day and we will be back.
