Nice free zoo but would like to see the chain link fence replaced with glass or plastic for easier photo taking
There are a couple different animals to be seen, pretty great to see if you are already visiting High Park, especially considering access is free. Please note that you may not be able to see all animals at all times as the pens are pretty large and animals may be hidden.

Visited the place with my kids on weekend. The place is well maintained and there is no entry fees.
There are few animals currently as there is development work going on. However, it is still good learning opportunities for kids. Peacocks are big attractions as you don’t see them at many places in Canada.

We visited the zoo on a weekend and were pleasantly surprised to find out that admission was free. The zoo offered the option to donate funds to support the care of various animals and birds, which we gladly took advantage of. While we initially had some difficulty finding parking, we eventually found on-street parking and had an overall enjoyable experience. The zoo also had food trucks available, which offered a great selection of ice cream and other delicious snacks.
we went on a day where the llamas weren’t open to public sob
the zoo was pretty fun, it was free so we didn’t expect ANYTHING and all in all it was a nice experience. love the doodly information boards and the vast space allocated to each animal, makes my little heart very happy. the fact that each enclosure has toys placed in it and ample space for the animals to hide if they wish is also super endearing.
it was a little hard to see some of the animals, with the double fenced lining in some enclosures, and some of them weren’t out and about, but the baby cattle was adorable. made up for everything else.
do note it’s quite a small zoo, so do plan other things to do when you’re done, there is the rest of the park to see after all.

Love taking my son here on days off. You can make a donation, there is the animals in the zoo and a wooden playground within walking distance. Cars cannot enter the park on weekends so you will have to find surrounding street parking. During the week cars are able to enter the grounds and usually there is lots of parking from my experiences.
This park was such an unexpected gem. So many trails, and e-bikes available for rent. There was a swimming pool, baseball fields, and we were pleasantly surprised with a free zoo inside the park. Overall this was a great park and definitely a fun place to spend some time outside enjoying nature right in the middle of the city.
I finally found it and loved it! I can't believe there is a small zoo here. It was very nice and quiet walk through. My husband and I had a very good time seeing peacocks, bison and my favorite llamas. Plus its not a far walk to bloorwest village to grab some food and coffee. There is a BBQ shop in high park as well. We brought water and food as we knew we be outside for awhile. I honestly had a good time here and will probably be back because I love animals so much.
