Positives:

  • All-weather routes: Indoor pavilions and covered paths let you explore comfortably in rain or shine.
  • Photography spots: Misty rainforest domes and pondside benches offer romantic backdrops.
  • Dining variety: Grab a coffee at the Australia House café or picnic by the Discovery Zone ponds.

Challenges:

  • Large grounds: The zoo spans over 700 acres; plan breaks or use the Zoomobile to cut walking time.
  • Peak crowds: Weekends and midday keeper talks draw lines; use the app to find quieter times.
  • Seasonal closures: Splash Island and some outdoor exhibits close in late fall; check schedules ahead.

A great place, education, entertainment but beware the place is massive so it's also exercise! Easily 15k+ steps unless you want to pay for the zoo transport. It might be possible to see everything they have in one day but that sounds exhausting. Tons of exhibits and stuff for the family. Loads of food vendors that also serve booze which is a plus. A good number of bathrooms and water bottle refi...

Amazing zoo! It's really big, with animals from all over the world and plenty of space to walk around and explore. The enclosures are well cared for. It's a great place for families but also fun for adults. Definitely worth a visit! 🥰

This week wonderful time enjoyed at Toronto Zoo worth visiting for all age group. While the kids and youngsters have most activities, others have a unique experience for the whole day. Check their website for timings and entry fee. The zoo arena is well mapped and accessible easily by walk and more with zoomobiles, their own ride train. Very nicely crafted picnic spaces and food arenas all aro...

I visited on a very hot summer day and unfortunately many of the animals were either hiding in the shade or sleeping, which made it harder to see them. I was especially excited to see the polar bears, but they were resting during my visit. The zoo itself is quite large, and it can easily take half a day to explore all the different sections. I think going in the fall would be a better experience s...

Visited the Toronto Zoo recently with high expectations, especially for a fun family outing, but it ended up being somewhat underwhelming. A large number of animals were either not available in their enclosures or sleeping, making it difficult to engage the kids or enjoy the experience fully. It felt like more than half the exhibits were either empty or inactive. There weren’t any proper kids sho...

When is the best time to visit Toronto Zoo (Toronto, Canada)?

In summer, cool off at Splash Island water park. Fall brings vibrant foliage along walking trails. Winter is best for warm indoor pavilions with active animals.
