How Baby-Friendly is Toronto Zoo?

86%Baby-Friendly
View Map

Families with babies can rent strollers, use nursing rooms at the Family Centre, and roll along smooth, mostly level paths; distance between zones is long, so plan rests and bring supplies.

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! 🥰

Very nicely crafted picnic spaces and food arenas all aro...

I think going in the fall would be a better experience s...

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...
