Toronto Zoo

Went here with my friends and it was amazing. The zoo grounds is so big so expect to walk MILES if you want to explore the whole zoo. I would definitely come back again. My favorite part is the green house because you get to see so many flowers. Loved how i had a close look of the tiger. So awesome.

Visited with the family and kids. Admission isn't cheap — we paid $415, including two parking passes at $20 each (mandatory, since there are no real alternative parking options nearby). Be prepared for a lot of walking, especially with young kids or seniors. The seniors gave up after the first venue. If mobility is an issue, the ZooMobile (a makeshift train) helps, but it's an extra $9.50 per person. Costs add up quickly. We brought our own picnic and stayed until closing. While the grounds are spacious and well-kept, the animals seemed quite docile and low-energy. The penguin exhibit was limited, and several other animals were either out of sight or not very active. The polar bear just lay in its den the whole time. it's a decent day out, but definitely a pricey one — both in time and money.

Great place to spend the whole day in. I’m a member means I can go there every day for the whole year. It makes sense to buy membership since it’s at a price of 2-3 visits. Plus getting an annual Parking pass for 50$ is a great investment if you plan to visit more than 2 times a year. With a hold pass you get to go on their train rides around the zoo. Train ride is good especially when you visit during bad weather or if you’re tired walking back from Africa or if you want to quickly get to Canadian domain. There are always some Renos going on. So getting to Canadian domain is only possible through Africa. If you have membership I’d suggest visiting at different times of the day. Evenings are good cause most people are tired and are leaving by then. Interesting stuff to watch: feeding lions, bear and wolves, kangaroo walk (only open in certain days in summer) Best part to catch the train: section after Africa cause you pass through gated areas with Mongolian horses and Yaks which you can’t see otherwise. So it’s a good value added. Tip: when there is too many people in line in African walk towards the previous stop at Canadian domain and catch the train before it gets to Africa. Food is overpriced, slice of pizza pizza is 6$. You get 10% off if you’re a member. There are no healthy food options so you can bring something with yourself. Overall great place to walk through and get closer to nature, even though nature in captivity.

We visited second time yesterday after 4 years. I saw few changes in the layout and a lot of new stalls for food. If you had young kids, stroller is highly recommended as there is a lot of walking needed. The entire zoo is wheelchair accessible. You can also rent them in the entrance (stroller/wagon, both are available). You can pack your own food and enjoy them in picnic spots which have lot of tables and benches. There are also food options available inside from pizza to poutine to juices. There are also drinking water stations available widely. You might get disappointed or lucky when it comes to watching animals like lion, tiger etc. They sometimes hide inside or sleep. But animals like monkey, zebra, giraffe could be spotted mostly. There are also aquatic animals like fish, penguins etc. Washrooms are widely available inside which are surprisingly very neat - we used in 3 places. All have change stations as well, if you have diaper babies. Plan to spend at least 6-7 hours if you want a relaxed trip and also want to cover the entire zoo. One great disappointment is that you would have to walk 700-800 m to the zoo from the parking lot. There is some construction that is going on and hope they complete it soon to make the life easy.

Zoo keepers do an amazing job here. We were greeted so nicely. Staff so polite and helpful. They sure know how to keep their animals healthy. Everywhere information and directions were displayed. Plenty of food options too. Amazing experience

Went to Toronto Zoo with the school kids day trip. Everything was so well organized. Teachers had the tickets for kids and adults and they made it so quick at the front. We downloaded the app but didn’t use it much. Print out maps were more fun and gave nostalgic feeling. Animal in a zoo is never a good idea but 100% they were kept in good condition. Few animals like tiger, cobra were not there but we were able to see many like Polar bear Lion and lioness Cheetah Zebras Many pythons

Are you planning to go to the ZOO? On a holiday or weekend? Then get there early, the parking lot gets crowded!! Buying tickets in advance. Get a map. You can't see everything in one day, so choose and focus on the animals you want. You can bring food and drinks for the kids, there is no healthy food for sale, there are points to get free water. respect the signs 🪧and enjoy the trip🐒

We visited the Toronto Zoo on Mother’s Day, and it was a fantastic outing! The kids had an amazing time exploring all the different animal exhibits — from the playful pandas to the majestic lions, there was something exciting around every corner. The zoo was well-organized, clean, and had plenty of family-friendly amenities, which made the day even more enjoyable. The splash pad was closed but will definitely be and the highlights for the little ones. A wonderful way to spend Mother’s Day — highly recommended for families! 🐘🦁🐧
