This zoo is open everyday of the year. There was a bit of a line when we arrived over the long weekend and realized it would be faster to purchase tickets online. This was during COVID. Pros: Beautiful zoo with many picnic tables towards the end for families to enjoy. Lots of bathrooms and garbage cans spread throughout. Staff are very engaging. Nice dinosaur exhibit at the end. This was quite possibly the best part of the zoo! Kids loved the rainbow play structures near the farm and could probably have spent all morning here. Polar bears and seals in the walk through tunnel of the aquarium is nice (similar to Toronto’s walk through aquarium without the moving sidewalk) although it can get crowded in this area of the animals are active. All staff are informative and very engaging. Cons: many of the animals were hard to find when we visited in the morning. We are glad there were other exhibits. You could easily spend a few hours here. We went in the morning so it wouldn’t be as hot. Many locals brought a picnic lunch and this is a great idea as they have plenty of sitting space towards the end. On the way out, there was still a line at the entrance so I highly recommend buying tickets online.

I went to this zoo for the first time and was impressed with the amount of space available in the enclosures for those animals that like to roam a lot like the tigers, wolves, etc. There is a tank to watch the polar bears swim but, unfortunately, it was a warmer day and the time of day I went, they were sleeping. You need to arrive for your visit early in the day to really see the animals out and about and not sleeping, hidden from the sun. The site was clear and easy to follow with good paths. Check out the butterfly exhibit.

This is a fantastic zoo and not just for the animals. The animals in the zoo were pretty standard ones found across North America. Time of day will help you see them. Large cages are still in place here so getting pictures is a little hard. They did have a white bison. (blonde actually) They had a butterfly house with lots if colorful butterflies. Great. They have a dinosaur display, indoor, yhat wss quite extensive. Don't know if it is there year round. Another area they have a forest walk with lifesize animated dinosaurs that was great. Scared a few kids though. I loved it. The area for Churchill was very well done. As well the underwater viewing areas for the seals and bears was great. Too bad the bears were sleeping, we didn't see them in the water.
