If you as me are animal lovers, then this is the place to visit. Animals seem well treated, and the staff try to maintain an atmosphere as comfortable as possible for them.
The pandemic has been a challenge in many ways, and zoos have been affected considerably. Coming with family and children is definitely the best way to support them and admire the animal greatness that we have around us and our responsibility to protect it.

Toronto Zoo was a great experience with dedicated zones spanning the macro climates of the world. We especially liked Australia and Africa displays. Indo China was also cool. If you're looking for warm areas in winter, we recommend Africa, Australia, and Indochina. Gorillas were a great section to visit. Highly recommended to visit on weekdays if you're on vacation.
A Toronto experience that was a first for me! I am still amazed at how easy the walk was. Every station just naturally flowed into the next, with no confusion of where we were or where we were going.
There were many different stations, but I remember we did the safari, the different species of animals, birds, rhinos, monkeys, giraffes, gorillas, lions, tigers, snakes, fish and every species of animal you can think of! There's also a very lush forest, I was very impressed with, with a bridge almost suspended through it, which was very cool. I am still amazed at the expanse of land that the zoo sits on. It is a massive area!
Next year I will definitely purchase the season's pass and go more than once. We went with a toddler in a stroller, very easy to move around. However next time will invite some older kids with us, I think they will enjoy and appreciate the animals more. Toddlers might be bored after the first 20 mins, but surprisingly mine enjoyed the entire walk!
Definitely a spot to invest in. Will be our new yearly tradition!

Best zoo experience I've had. We went on a slightly cooler day that was overcast, most animals were out eating/grazing or sleeping in the shade.
Staff was very vocal which I thoroughly enjoyed. Very confident, knowledgeable and friendly (extra shout out to the keeper and volunteer for the Kookaburra as well as the volunteer for the Polar bear. Wonderful people with obvious love for the animals.)
Animals looked very healthy across the board which made the experience even better.
10/10 recc, would travel halfway across the country to visit again!

Fantastic Family Adventure
I recently visited the Toronto Zoo, and it was an incredible experience for the whole family! The variety of animals and well-maintained exhibits left us in awe. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the overall enjoyment. The zoo's commitment to conservation and education is truly commendable. We can't wait to return and explore more of this wonderful place. Highly recommended!

The zoo is vast and boasts a wonderful environment. Both the admission fee and the food prices inside are very reasonable. It's an ideal place for families, friends, and couples to take a leisurely stroll. To explore the entire zoo on foot, expect to spend at least four hours. While they do offer a mini-train ride, it covers just a short distance and ultimately brings you back to the starting point. Some areas are available for rental, which might make it feel a bit commercialized, but aside from that, everything else is commendable. It's a perfect spot for a weekend outing or springtime excursion.
