Looking for a perfect weekend getaway in the city?
If you have not been in the zoo for a while, you might want to check it out yourself. There has been a lot of upgrade!
There’s Aunt Sally’s Farm that has a colorful play area where the Zoo’s youngest visitors can play alongside goats.
I personally enjoyed the peaceful ambience at the Shirley Richardson Butterfly Garden. The seasonal garden is stocked with a variety of butterfly species landscaped with lovely flowering plants.
My son loves the walk through Kangaroo exhibit where visitors can get up close to the Kangaroos.
The underwater experience where visitors can see polar bears swimming or playing in an above tunnel aquarium has always been my husband’s favorite.
For indoor snacking, there’s Tundra Grill restaurant inside the Zoo which includes a Polar playground which my kids also enjoyed. If you plan to have a picnic and you have kids who are expected to stay in one play longer, a half day will be sufficient to maximize your stay.
For this summer, visitors will be able to enjoy Dinosaurs Uncovered until September 5th. Amaznig experience to see 17 life-size, animatronic dinosaurs along a forested trail of the zoo.
Dinosaurs UnCovered features dinosaurs from the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods including the fearsome Tyrannosaurs Rex, plus more recently discovered species like the feathered Dakotaraptor. The dino exhibit is included in regular zoo entrance fees.
For anyone planning to visit the zoo, here are some tips: Snacks from home are allowed and there are water refilling stations. Bring along sunscreen, bug spray and hand sanitizers. Picnic mat or blankets should come handy too in case benches and tables are not available.
If there are memberrs of the family that do not like walking long distances, there’s a free tram to take from specified pick up and and drop off locations every 15 minutes.
There are locations maps all around the zoo but there are also friendly zoo volunteers for regular queries who wlil making it sure visitors will have a smooth, and lovely experience at the zoo.
The Zoo is located in 2595 Roblin Blvd and is open daily from 9AM to 5PM. For admission rates and zoo hours, check:
