Reviews of High Park Zoo (Zoo)

Lynne Thibault

I was here in the Spring and saw some nice animals. I was just passing through the zoo in hopes of see the Cherry Blossoms. This zoo is great for kids to see many different animals. This isn't like any regular zoo this is a small zoo with maybe only 10 animals.

Darren Morita

Outside of trying to find parking, great experience...and free.

Ben Cappellacci

A lovely little collection of interesting animals. Always awesome to see when visiting High Park. Great for kids.

Merlin J

Loved it!!! U can spend a whole day without feeling bored. There's a play area for kids..pack food n water needed.

Rachel Doobee G

Just a few animals to see, however, it's free so you can't complain

Just a beaver (东北那嘎达)

Full of memory

Nice place for 20 minutes visit, its seasonal zoo from March or April to end of October. The layout of the zoo is very nice, the trees and the forest color was amazing

This was the most magical place in toronto! The people and animals are the sweetest! They care so much for their animals and that everyone enjoys there time there!!!????????

Steve Formoso

This zoo is the best because you can see such beautiful animals for free. A good way to spend some time on a nice day

Osher Frank

A very nice route. Interesting walk the through, and a great open doors route for the pandemic times.

It's a very small zoo, but it's free and part of a really great trail in a beautiful natural park near downtown Toronto. What more could you want out of a walking trail? It has it's own zoo!

Sloth Hugger

Beautiful animals roaming freely (kinda) that are for sure a delight for every visitor, especially for animal lovers like me

sandeep bongale

Its good place...but not as we expected...very few animals are there

Suraj Prasad

Not that great.. mostly good for kids.

Malik Chabou

Llama... Llama... duck. ...and loads more animals to view from a distance and to interact with. Perfect for young children and animal lovers of all ages.

Emanuele Dovigo

Very nice walk and beautiful park. Donate if you can because the Zoo is nice.

Boniqua Styles

So their doing construction so there's no parking amd lots of walking cuz u have to walk to the other end of the park but it was ok

Glenn Dickler

It was animalistic great

Zhaoyu Guo

The Zoo is boring.

Matthew Willing

The zoo is free (donation boxes scattered around) but it's quite small and the enclosures don't look super spacious for some of the animals. They have quite a variety but it's mainly deer/sheep/bison kind of deal. Worth a visit if you're walking through the park.

Latisha Rolen

Lots of animals! All well-groomed, well-fed and kept in excellent conditions! My family loved it!

Darren Hopkins

Great place to take grand kids. Very stimulus! Even as an adult Always fascinating

Feby Mathew

Well maintained.. good for kids ... Peacocks are the best...

Anu Varghese

The perfect picnic place!

Bobson Dugnutt

Parking was hard to find, but we got lucky and had a great time!

Liam Devine

The emus are really cute

What to say about High Park Zoo? First of all, I really like zoos. It is great to be able to see animals that it would be otherwise impossible to see and get to know out in the wilderness because it would be very dangerous. On the other hand, I don't like the whole part of keeping them in captivity, but sometimes it is needed, especially when talking about endangered species. The zoo at High Park is humble but it was so cool to see so many animals I don't get to see in the US or other zoos I have visited. The zoo is tucked away in the center of the park and you can hear no vehicles whatsoever, except for the internal golf carts that the employees use. It is really cool that you can get really close to the fences and take really close up pictures of the animals. The information cards are really good, detailed yet to the point, so they don't make it boring and the illustrations are funny too. I would really recommend this for when you are itching to go outdoors because you can also go walk around the rest of High Park, and also if you are trying to keep the kids occupied. They are also fundraising to expand the park. I added a picture of how it will look once they finish it. Oh, do NOT Feed the animals. Leave that for the professionals. Go check it out! ????

Globalpaytech Canada

Great place

Steven Ficko

Amazing park in the city. Much to do

Karoline Tufte Lien

AVAX BTC

fun zoo

Adriel O'Malley

Good for kids and stroller friendly

Anita Windisman

See llamas, peacocks, and muskox in the city!

Anh Le

Many Canadian animals

Ron Buchanan

Animals should be in the wild. Not trapped in that crappy zoo. It's a mess and animals live in a tiny space.

Annette Orr

Cute little zoo that is free to walk through and conveniently located inside high park. Great for the family!

Annette Westgarth

Always love this place. Family place

Lex Acid

Very small but still full of life, adorable for children and families

Alison Chatzis

Beautifull place to go with family. Its free and they have nice animals, very clean for a public place. My daughter loved it and so did i.

Yes Man

Good lamas

Catherine Swain

It's a great zoo and it's free! I recommend feeding the llamas carrots ( volunteers offer you carrots) in return you can show appreciation with a donation. There is a donation machine that takes debit so you can help support this great little zoo :)

Dawn Hobbs

Not many animals but cute

Pamela

NO PARKING IS AVAILABLE IN THE PARK ON THE WEEKENDS. PAID STREET PARKING IS LIMITED. One of the best parks in Toronto. It's a classic.

Mur CGA

Fun walk in the park.

Amanda Marroquim

Nice place for.kids

Anuj Sood

Good. At times they have petting option too. Otherwise nice place to visit especially with kids. Is for free.

Simone Fried

Great small zoo for smaller kids to walk through. Great opportunity to chat with the keepers about the baby Bison. Would live to see more information about the animals, even the story of the baby Bison

Niamh Baszyl

Great free experience for the kids..

Adam Leon

Although it is pricy, you should take the train ride thru the park.

D H

they have cows

Scorpio Snyper

Small zoo in the middle of the city.

Dan B

Can't beat a free zoo!!!

richa singh

Went to High Park when it was freezing cold (-20) but with a lot of sunshine. The park would need a lot of time to be seen everything in a single visit. This time I enjoyed the open zoo. It is a must for the kids while even I and my husband were equally excited to see it. Taking a stroll on a sunny day is good. Wait for the blossoms to happen but plan in advance because the parking spot runs out of space.

Randy McDonald

We got to see the Capybaras! Very excited to see them just relaxing. The Llamas were out and about as were a lot of the sheep and cattle.

Bhavik Soni

Wonderful Zoo in Downtown Toronto. MUST VISIT

Afonso Adão

Not the best place to keep animals in my opinion

Jason Cawthorn

Low key. Fun, semi-surly herbivores in attendance. Never crowded. Always a great walk.

Heather Ricketts

This is a very fun and relaxing place to take your family. You get to pet and feed some of the animals!

Jozef Lubi

Very good walk to the ZOO

lily murphy

they rly let the rodent mans escape

Kelvin Lee

This is such a cool place to be! City of Toronto really look after these animals and you can tell they are happy and healthy. It’s a great place to bring kids and friends over. Take the step to the west of it, and it’ll bring you closer to the lake. There are ducks and geese around. I had a wonderful time!

subramanian kaushik

Nice picnic spot .. good amount of natural habitat to visit.. fun for children ...have cycle tracks, food spots to eat .....

Jonathan Lau

Free zoo. You get what you pay for. The number of animals are limited. However, for young kids (like my 4 year old daughter), it is still quite the adventure. During the pandemic, the south side entrance has been closed to allow for visitors to view the animals in one direction. You enter from the north entrance by the cafe, move into the left lane, make a U-turn at the end, stay on the left side and exit. Overall, it was a fine experience.

Keely J Murphy

Nice that the animals are cared for, but they seem so sad

janita castillo

Animals look depressed. Bathrooms under renovations . pond scummy . splash pad is amazing. Castle park is great for 5 and up

Eric M

Would give 5 stars if the capybaras were there when i visited... :(

Mike

The zoo itself is amazing love bringing the family here.... but when I was there on the 30th of dec many of the animals didnt have any water, and one of the animals beside the llamas looked sick I belive it was the yak

Tyler Sarry

Honestly I was expecting a bit more number/variety of animals. However, the enclosure is well kept and the animals have a good amount of space to roam around.

Kryssie B

Toronto's very own Central park

Sara Ahmed

Parking available at the park. 15-20 mind walk from Keele or high park subway station to the cafe. Zoo has reindeer, bison, cattle, and a few other animals. The gardens are really nice. I didn't explore any of the trails.

Genet Tesfay

Beautiful Animals in High park areas are wearing

Alex P

Lovely, clean, shady... Suitable for even the 40C weather on this Canada Day.

Safwat Ghabbour

Tranquility oasis

Nellie Terzieva, MBA, CIPS

Love going there with my son. Beautiful park and interesting place for children and families

Arturo Santisteban

Quite good for a free zoo in the park.

Rene Laflamme

An awesome place, worth seeing. Ps. It's free!!!

Soph

About what I'd expect for a free public zoo. Fairly common but interesting animals like peacocks, capybara, Highland cows, and goats. Don't expect to spend a whole day here it's maybe a 20 minute experience. It's free so you really can't complain and is definitely worth checking out if you're already in high park!

ankita vala

It's a lovely FREE kids zoo!

Yvonne Mitchell

Big park but we only explored the zoo and the playground. The zoo is over a block long with some yaks, llamas, Peacocks, cows, etc. The playground area is huge. Even adults can have fun with their kids there. Washrooms could be closer to the playground because when a preschooler has to go, it is a little hard to climb up a good flight of stairs and then walk maybe another 100 meters to get to a washroom in time. Better signage for the washrooms would be great as well.

Kafui Danku

Nice experience... my daughter loved ????seeing the animals

Oluseyi Akinnaso

For a free entry zoo. No bad. But parking is limited.

Trevor Lightbody

Beautiful outdoor zoo to see entrapped animals. Surrounded by trees and woods. Lots of goats and yaks and buffalo. The peacock are very loud.

Bojan Belina

Small zoo with a dozen or so different animal types. In the summer, Saturday mornings are a time when they allow visitors to pet and feed the lamas and hold rabbits/chickens. The other animals are on display but not available to pet/touch (unless they come up to you at the fence)

Nathaniel Smith

Honestly - what more can you expect from a zoo in the middle of a park in Toronto? It's a fun time for how quickly you can walk through it.

Ron F

Nice walk! Beautiful environment in the heart of the city!

neha agarwal

Loved it

Jacqueline Jackson

Trails, parking, open spaces, off leash dog area, kids playground, concessions, bathrooms, pond ... a natural delight in the city. This park has something for everyone.

Eddie Furda

High Park Zoo is always a good time,with a variety of animals,the kiddies love it and on Saturdays during the summer you get to feed the Lama's for a low price which goes to support the Zoo and keep it going.After the Zoo you get to enjoy the rest of the Park if you like which is huge.

Amber Van Zitamore

Has always been a favorite place to visit in the city. Dog friendly as well, so bring your four legged child for a stroll, and introduce them to some wildlife in the city.

Charles Dow

Free. Lots of trees to keep you cool. Be prepared to park outside the park if late on weekends or holidays. Several little trails, beautiful views, perfect for kids of any age.

Jonathan Gaudet

This is a fun place to bring the kids, and it's great that it is free!

Genevieve Anderson

Love coming here a few times a year. If you have young children, this is a must do. Playground is just to the east.

Michael Mc

It's free. Good enough for me. Truthfully tho not worth a long drive to visit. If you're in the area, check it out.

Sammie Sea

Beautiful Free park to go walk through. Seeing the animals was a delight as well.

Alexander Love

Nice place to relax in and doodle a bit!

My kids love it there.

Mehedi Anik

Lovely place. But beware of the caterpillars. Freaking too many!

Kendall Fraser

It’s a zoo. With animals. Some native to the country, some not.

Jess Pelayo

It's a big park with lots of activities you can do like hiking, biking, walking your dog. There is an off leash dog area, children play ground, a zoo, a garden. There is something for everyone.

Krystina D

Best Free zoo. Capybara looked cute.

Hazel Jackson

Although I totally love this place, I can't wait 'til the upcoming renovation that will give the animals more space and better amenities. The bisons in particular did not look at all happy to be enclosed in such a small space for them. These majestic animals should be able to run and feed on wild grasses!!! Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam, and the deer and.the antelope play!

Lisa Rogers

Nice small zoo, loved the ostriches!

Daniel

Love how far its come in terms of renovation. Great work!

Nahid Mahbub

Small but nice zoo.

Robert Wagner

Hidden gem. Free parking

Lisa Mekhail (Shera4life)

Always a fun trip! Lots of see and do.

Juliette Wong

Love that it's free! Had available parking during the weekdays and they blocked off one entrance as they're doing repairs at one as well as in the llama pen. Not super crowded which was a relief

Suhail

Free entrance, small zoo, ideal for kids. My children like this park, they used to go there when I had a doctor appointment nearby. It’s very big, so come ready to walk around it. Nice and clean.

Eric Fox

Great place to bring the kids and its free

Debranjan Maji

Great place for a day out

Philip Ford

Fantastic horticultural displays. Love the Rock Gardens.

Rishi Hargovan

Great fun for kids!

Tracy M

Small but it was fun to see the capybaras!

Judith

Great place to hangout as a family with little kids

Rod Sehnke

A great place for a walk away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Virgymar Tovar

It's free. Good enough for me. Truthfully tho not worth a long drive to visit. If you're in the area, check it out.

Sheldon Stewart

Free animals they do not want to be there

Marco Morales

Amazing place! Good protection and friendly with the people.-

John Hodgson

Large park ,lots of free activities for the kids

Sherry Radburn-Ong

Can't go wrong with free and small! Took our 4yr old on Easter Sunday to check out the capybabra. Come early to enjoy free and easy parking. It's a nice 30 min stroll then poke around the rest of the park. There are reindeer, bison, yaks, emus, goats and sheep and llamas. A good time! In terms of flora at Easter, nothing had really started growing but the air was fresh. In the rest of the park, the ducks and swans and squirrels were out.

S. H.

Nice park and zoo!

Anupama Bharadwaj

Very beautiful place, carry your own bedsheets n some snacks, you can spend a lazy afternoon. You can go for a hike or jog, you can take kids to the small zoo, totally worth it.

Brandon H

Small collection of animals. It's a quick path; great for all including children.

B L

Great place for the family and a light stroll. Lots of animals to see. Not too crowded and parking is easy!

Amp1894 B

Beautiful place for a stroll. The zoo was awesome, the trails are amazing, thank you so much for existing. Make sure to donate so this can stay amazing.

Luther V Diaz Yap

It a bit of a fixer-upper, but still interesting to stroll through.

Robbie Grant

A nice zoo. Impressed that they have Highland cattle. Want to know when the capabara's are there so I can visit them as well.

Rizwan Bhutta

Adequate place for children. Must be better places to visit. However good time spent for free

ironpenguin333 “onion” 333

I went here so much as a kid, there were so many animals, and it was easily accessible. This place is great and I have a lot of memories here, would recommend.

angelica rojas

It is small but the animal all well taken care of, the kids enjoyed the zoo as well as the playground

Parking closed on weekends. One entrance and exit . But all in all a great experience

Philip Greer

It provides a nice short trip to a zoo.

Koray Tugay

Not enough animals, no elephant.

Tarang Singhal

A nice attraction in high park. It may seem unassuming from the outside but they have some very unique animals. Definetly worth one visit

Maz Riverin

Very fun and family friendly. Been there many times and will go back soon

helen ma

Children had a lot of fun at here.

Shoaib M

Kids enjoyed a lot

Trong Hoang

Good

Jacquie Wood

Nice little place to visit we stopped here on our way home from toronto for a weekend. It was a great place to get some air and visit some animals.

Jeff (Jeddiemercury)

I had a nice time.

David Kinitz

A good place to walk through as you explore the park. I wouldn't plan on spending more than 20 minutes.

Nilou Khalili

Oh so cute...and I heard they’re all rescue animals so makes me feel better I guess(?)

PIX XX

Free parking. Now that's been established we can continue. Free entry! Also said so we move forward. There are not very many animals here and the ones that are there are mostly domestic. Peacocks are really nice. Yaks too. On weekends there is a petting zoo which is good for young kids. It's small so don't expect for this to occupy kids for a full day. You can walk the park and there is a huge kids playground.

Simon Hill

Relaxing walk.

Sophia Virani

Best place to go with the kiddos

Andrew Blackburn

A great walk! Afternoon well spent.

samgabor100

One of the all time great spot

K K

Always love bringing the little kiddies here. They have a great time just walking around and even feeding the animals with the keepers. With the playground right next to it is great as well.

Juan Campana

Free location inside Highpark

Miry Reina

I was surprised to see few animals, but on one side this make me happy as animal should be free.

Neil Jain

Awesome zoo in the heart of High Park! Animals were all out during our visit in October except the elusive capybaras! Nice stroll, good descriptions, you can get quite close to the animals.

Tim A.

Very simple zoo but good enough if you're already there as it's free. Easy parking and in a nice setting. The ground is very uneven so be careful!

Alex Solov'ev

Good finds

Kenshiro_199X

Beautiful lands

Willian Will

Only 10 cages!

Khalid Saeed

Yeah good place to visit with kids . Whole day fun picnic

Kate Barker

Really cute free zoo, nothing too exotic but perfect for young children. Very busy on weekends, parking is brutal and very few bathrooms. Plan ahead!

P Tailor

Its nice small zoo for the kids

Paul McAuliffe

Not a whole lot to see,

Justinxmlife

Very pretty

Derek Koch

Fun, small Zoo entirely within the confines of High Park. The animals they've chosen to host are suitable for a small Zoo and small enclosures. Perhaps a dozen enclosures with a dozen different types of animals, with basic educational …

Mohsin Syed

Small free zoo for the family

Mouna Fersi

Love it

Adam Muise

Great little zoo. It's about all your kids have the patience for anyway.

Amir Ahmad

Great zoo for the price (free). Good selection of animals, great for kids. Even got wallabies!

chumbibs

Cool dog

Amba Ramgoolam

Friendly, inquisitive wildlife who are sometimes camera shy, but always entertaining. Fun for the whole family. During covid, only one entrance is open so you have to walk back the way you came, but that just gives you more time to spend with the animals.

Marcio Bueno

Small but interesting

Henrys' Vlog

good for kids. they only have friendly animal, no lion, no tiger

Connie Cheung

very few animals

Patrick McInally

Free zoo where the animals seem pretty ok with captivity. It may be a Stockholm Syndrome kind of situation, though, which leaves me more than a little perturbed. I tell myself that the education gained by small minds is worth their possible existential angst. My four year old just loves the giant rodents. She is yet free from such ethical quandaries, lucky little thing.

Kyle Giang

A bit of a hike up hill but the kids will love seeing the animals up close. Best of all, it's free! Donation is encouraged to keep this place open.

Ivin Issac

Short walk with free entry and free parking. Great to have a small zoo in High Park

Mutumba Muzamiru

The place was wonderful

raachel gilbert

Loved the animals! So cute and fun to watch although they should have a food dispenser for the animals like any other petting zoo and take away the GARBAGE around there poor cages!!!!!!

Alex B

Went during Covid times so there was not a lot to see but it was good for this time period. All animals looked healthy and cute.

David Alle

Nice little zoo. Even better price (its free).

Eric M

Would give 5 stars if the capybaras were there when i visited... :(

shovan bhattacharrya

Beautiful place. Animals are kept in large enclosures and well taken care off.

Tijana Petrovic

Great for kids

Ali Alba

Tiny zoo with interesting animals. Good for a date or family outing. See it all in less than an hour then go to the park around the corner.

Elena JJ

Its great to visit in the Spring and Summer. Its FREE. And you can enjoy a lovely walk through the park after. Or you can go to the lovely castle-like all-wood playground if you have little ones.

Ejixa Ejixovna

Great little zoo in the middle of the city!

Edward Brain

Nice zoo. Great location.

Em

Zoo is very small. Enclosures are not adequate for animals. Not worth the trip

Fadia D

Great park in the city. Huge grounds that include a public summer pool and a lovely nature reserve with many different animals. Will be coming back this summer!

K Kulesha

Lovely to go for a walk and look at all the animals. The ground is very uneven though, and can get muddy or fill with lots of puddles, so wear appropriate boots/shoes! Don't forget to leave a bit of spare change to help feed and care for the animals!

Szymon Machajewski

A pleasant walk with park zoo animals.

Jeff Easton

Best Zoo in town and very affordable. It is a "pay as you want" kind of donation model and the money does go to help others! So we loved it, a perfect Sunday stroll through the Park and Zoo! Colder weather is nicer vs. super warm summer weather. I would recommend going in Shoulder seasons vs. extremely cold.

Jenny Sepulveda

Good place.

Home of the Hot Wheel Legends

An awsome place to visit with your family. Clean washroom was a plus. Kids really enjoyed the animals, kids play area and hiking along the trails.

Debbie Teixeira

Gorgeous park! I used to go often as a child. It's been probably 40 years and I wish I hadn't waited so long!

shahroz shaikh

It's a great place to go with family and kids.

Sam Reid

Great place for kids

Gordana Kol

Loved ♥️

Desirée Ó Céileachair

Great small zoo for smaller kids to walk through. Great opportunity to chat with the keepers about the baby Bison. Would live to see more information about the animals, even the story of the baby Bison

Madhavi Manian

Kids love this place!

Anwar

Looks beautiful in a snowy day

Zakib Zarook

Great place to visit

Anne-Marie S.

Fin low key family activity. Be sure to check out the amazing kids jungle gym structure afterwards!

mister dumpling

Friendly staff. Beautiful animals. Relatively big enclosures for the animals. Awesome little gem in the park!

Ignasi Tobella

Free zoo that is very well maintained but still, I am against having animals in cages.

Edwin Persaud

Great for kids. Bug playground..lost of trails. Kids like petting the chickens. Lots of picnic areas. Lots of sporting areas. Dog park. Train ride on wheels.

Feng Wen

Good!

Lia S.

Super fun! Adorable animals

Katrina Dimapilis

A little sad looking but it's free! About 12 different types of animals!

Nazban D

Fun zoo to feed llamas!

Huma M

Was very disappointed this time going to the zoo as animals looked very in a bad condition, the water tanks were empty and animals looked very thirsty. It was not at well kept and we felt incredibly sorry for the poor animals.

Orla O Connell

Small zoo, not a lot of animals but nice to walk around

Vegan OnEarth

Not much to offer in way of animals. One larger animal looked like he was suffering today with a large sore on his back and pinned up against the fence.

Kamaljit Kaur

It's a great park but I would consider it on Saturday and Sunday's as it becomes to crowded but other wise good

Joshua Da Silva

Not bad for a free Zoo. Quick little loop and then lots of other kid friendly activities at the park!

Noryang K

So great to have a space like this in the middle of the city for kids and parents alike. On weekends the zoo has feeding programs so you can take your kids, nieces or nephews to feed and pet animals.

Simran Sidhu

Cute animals!!

Jenya Vestfrid

Great place for families - kids and dog friendly

Julie O

Had fun in the zoo ????

D Simms

Always love bringing the little kiddies here. They have a great time just walking around and even feeding the animals with the keepers. With the playground right next to it is great as well.

Queenie Ko

It was very big park with trees, animals and many more.

Anju Philip

A good place to go with family and friends. Feeding the Lama's and emu's was fun experience.

Da C

Great for young kids.

Jackie Flood

High Park Zoo, one of many enjoyable experiences for kids of all ages!!! From bison, to sheep, to peacocks and emus..... Up Close & Personal is the way to go at High Park Zoo!

Jennifer Ngo

These animals are sad and depressed. One goat kept circling around a tree which means he was not happy.

Maria Concetta Montagna

Spectacular

Scarymary

LOTS of things to do. Zoo, trails, splash pad, nature trails and much more. Close to subway.

Daniel Lopez

spectacular place a beautiful and very large place, I recommend you bring lunch and enjoy the air

Stephanie Pascual

Cool little zoo. Free attraction in the middle of Toronto.

Mohammad Kazem Bahrami

Wonderful free zoo in the park, always a good time

Arun

Best place for kids to see live animals rather than a TV. Calm and quiet place with less crowd. During Summer Zoo timings starts at 11am and ends at 7pm with last entry at 6:45 PM. You have few varities of animals. Currently you can find lots of caterpillars so be careful with kids while walking through the zoo. South entrance is currently closed, so you need to travel to north entrance near Granadier cafe. Parking is available and no entry fee to this zoo. One of the good location to spend a day with kids for someone living near Etobicoke, downtown . There is a childrens play area nearby and a pond too

Muñoz - Fernandez

Loved the free zoo

Anne Marie Lorusso, Realtor

Always my favourite place to visit on a nice fall day.

Papa Meme a la creme (meme)

Honestly I was expecting a bit more number/variety of animals. However, the enclosure is well kept and the animals have a good amount of space to roam around.

Ola Duminuco

Great place to spend time with a family

Francisco Pareja

Great Alpaca feeding event

Jay Gearhart

Wonderful zoo with great animals

Saleh Al-ademi

Nice place to spend the day

B A

It's small, but it's still fun to see the animals. Great for young kids, if you go at the right time you can feed a lama. There is a parking lot right next to the zoo entrance, and an impressive playground with picnic benches on the other side of the parking lot.

Brent Lyon

nice short walk. playground nearby

akshthal

Find your spot and Meditate in nature :)

Katie Lettie

As long as you are not expecting a zoo, you be pleasantly surprised by this “zoo”. Got to see a baby reindeer, that pretty much made the day. Saw some cool Himalayan cows too. Median age was probably six but still fun if you’re in the high park area. Pretty small.

Fakhir Jamil

Cute mini zoo for family and young kids. Sometimes you can feed the lLama too!

Parthiban Karpagam Radha

Best for kids... One of the smallest zoos I have seen..but was excited to see the enormous Bison! Located within High Park, but it is so easy to miss, so please do search for it on Google maps!

Jamal Ajli

Very quiet nature to go away from the noise of the city

JX W

peacocks are fantastic

Paula S

Beautiful walk!

Scott Truong

A small selection of animals like Emu, capybara, goats, bulls, deer, ducks, and others. It's free (donation based) and stretches about 700m. It's up hill or down hill depending on where you parked (two entrances).

Natalie Bauld

Kids loves this place & lots to do there.

The cattle and bison looked particularly depressed, not a blade of life left in their undersized pen. I felt very sorry for them. They need to be allowed to roam and run in a large field if they can’t be released, not kept in a dry, lifeless, dirt pen so humans may pass by for a moment attempting to attain some kind of low level novelty rush from seeing a cow in the flesh. yay.

Kevin Mars

nice mini zoo

Thao Kouxommone

Nice Sunday out in High Park family.

Claire L

Fun little zoo showcasing a half dozen species- with free admission within High Park, and free parking available. Currently the entrance and exit to the zoo is from same point near Grenadier Cafe. Highlights were capybaras and expressive emus.

Austin Kooiman

Cool free zoo in high park!

Younus S

It's amazing place for kids, however, they don't have a vast collections of animals. Also, on weekends you are not allowed to take your car inside. The distance from the main gate to zoo is almost a kilometre.

Onil Patel

Great zoo for the price (free). Good selection of animals, great for kids. Even got wallabies!

Sara Ahmed

Parking available at the park. 15-20 mind walk from Keele or high park subway station to the cafe. Zoo has reindeer, bison, cattle, and a few other animals. The gardens are really nice. I didn't explore any of the trails.

Kimberly Burke

As fun as it ever was. The bison, peacocks, reindeer, emu, yaks and friends were wonderful to see. Come in on the weekends or public holidays for a chance in the petting zoo. For $2 you can hand feed them as well!

Noman Anwar

V dirty

Erika V

Excellent little zoo for families. Lots of nature trails to walk on, and many other activities/special events for little children. The volunteer staff are friendly and welcoming, and there is a free petting zoo on Sunday afternoon.

Austin Graff

For a completely free zoo in a public park, High Park Zoo is great! It's a short walk from the Adventure Park. As you walk along the street, you'll start to see the animals' homes on both sides of the little road. They have emus, longhorn cattle, and several other animals kids love. In front of each area, there's a plaque explaining each animal. My wife and I went on a Wednesday around 7am and happened to meet one of the zookeepers. He was a very friendly man who even let us into the emu cage to pet the large emu. He told us he's worked at the zoo for 25 years and love it. If you want a free activity for the family, High Park Zoo is recommended!

mehdi masha

So sad

Paras Modi

Good number of animals for a free zoo at the park. Nice stroll with shaded areas to sit down as well.

Georges Keikati

It was a nice little walk through high park!

Small cute zoo. I always walk three when walking the trails of high park

Dania Hourany

Small zoo with a few animals under major renovation, free entry and free parking close by. My kids enjoyed the walk and especially the peacocks !

Ashlea J. Russell

Very simple zoo but good enough if you're already there as it's free. Easy parking and in a nice setting. The ground is very uneven so be careful!

AMZ

We all loved the Zoo!

Brian Robinson

Capybara came out and was adorable.

Pete Ross

This simple zoo is a great family experience.

Dan B

Needs a security guard to enforce social distancing. Nobody heeds the signs and circles painted on the ground. Parents, be vigilant.

Kris Unnikannan

Free zoo. Dog loves it. Wants to play with all the animals ????

Matthew Oliveira

Great place to visit while at high park. Best of all, it's free! Would highly recommend donating to support this zoo.

Landon Little

Beautiful Free park to go walk through. Seeing the animals was a delight as well.

Cassandra N

Nice little zoo. Glad to have one in the area. :)

Arjun Rajeev Warrior

The place is nice and clean with nature all around you. Just disappointed could not access the zoo part as the round about was long. Good place though for a visit with friends and family.

K K

It’s very nice small zoo in middle of the city.

Karen Liow

Good number of animals for a free zoo at the park. Nice stroll with shaded areas to sit down as well.

Mohit Singh

There is just no place to park your vehicle. The park parking is just enough to park almost 20 cars and people are queing and waiting for one of those 20 to come back and then to get a parking spot. We came back without visiting the place cause of pathetic parking. Well I guess this is the story of entire Toronto.

Dragan Marunic

Great place in the city to relax and stroll

CHERIE

I fun place to take the kids or just go for a walk. A bonus is that it's free

Dave Waddling

A good little treat if you're out for a walk in the park

Fun little zoo inside that park. Free admission and llama feeding on summer weekends

Polina Melamed

Nice, friendly, cozy

aleksandra dukic

Amazing how long this place has been there.

Imt Hus

Good place to visit with kids

Mike B

Capybara, bisons, and emus? What else do you want?!

Shirley Yip Tang

Perfect for my impatient (under 2 and a 4 year old) kids who got bored after 6 exhibits. It's March, so the Capybara weren't out, but the llamas, cattle, peacocks, yaks, etc were still there. We had a lovely day with the zoo, the café and the castle playground.

Sunil Thirukotiyur

I been going to High park every summer with my kids, and it's always fun. Its got everything to spend a complete day

Frank Nows

If you come to High Park, you have to stop by. Small but nice. Ideal for children. Many volunteers take care of the animals there. On some days you can support the zoo. I think that there is an honorary association active there. Through the purchase of food and small promotional items you can provide financial support.

Yurij Antonov

Free to visit park inside usual park. Happy animals and good emotions you will have for sure. This park do not take any money from you so do not wait to see a lot of animals here, but it looks very friendly.

Franklin Salazar

Love the little zoo

Lara Star Martini

I took a day trip to Toronto just to see the cherry blossom trees (it was a bit of a disappointment to be honest) but while I was there decided to see this free zoo that was in the park. It was the highlight of the day. While small, it was thoroughly enjoyable. We strolled with our baby in his stroller along the long pathway which is lined on both sides for most of the zoo. There is a small section where you can feed and pet some llamas (alpaca’s?) which was a nice change. They had bison, rams, peacocks, reindeer, emu, and more. I was shocked by how many different large animals they had, and what a variety, in this smaller zoo. Each animal seemed to have a decent amount of space to roam and hang out, and looked like they were well taken care of. It was a nice little surprise hidden in the park, and the fact that it is FREE means that it’s totally worth it. It made our walk through the park that much more special.

Matthew Klaas

Amazing free zoo.

Jeremy Sherwood

Great for the little ones not enough parking

Josie Simonini

Beautiful park and I was surprised that they had animals.

-LG -

Kids love this little gem of a zoo and it’s free!

A very good place for children to visit. Zoo is free.

David Rye

I been going to High park every summer with my kids, and it's always fun. Its got everything to spend a complete day

Sade Euzebe

I've been four times over the course of 5 years and to my recollection, it hasn't changed. Of course, with each successive visit, there are diminishing returns. However, it was clearly sufficiently interesting in the beginning to motivate my return.

Mamta Patil

Small zoo for kids. Good experience

Dylan D

Great place to take the family, parking is a challenge. We parked on some nearby residential streets and walked in. Even though there was a sign saying do not feed the animals we witnessed many families feeding the llamas seeds & oats & things. Would be good if they could better enforce this rule!

Abhishek Srivastava

Free zoo. Dog loves it. Wants to play with all the animals ????

Max Stocker

Great place to take grand kids. Very stimulus! Even as an adult Always fascinating

Natanel Roizenman

Well maintained little zoo in the city. The animals were well taken care of, and enclosures were well maintained. Great family experience. Would recommend to anyone! Only wish the city gave them a bigger budget, there are some areas that need improvement, mainly comfort items for humans (like more benches, improved road, etc)

Ramón Cruz Pérez

A great place to visit with friends and family

Spiros Hippolyte

The was fun to see and smell the animals

Shreya Atre

It is a jewel in the city of Toronto from the cherry blossoms to the Shakespeare in the park. Even a little zoo in the middle and complete restaurant with breakfast specials midweek.

Dereck Mukuku

The kids loved it!!

Nicholas Kusmich

Let's not call this a zoo. They are a few animals here.

Gokhan dogru

It so cool for kids

Krystina D

Best Free zoo. Capybara looked cute.

Camila Alonso

My dogs love it

Zohre Shamandi

You can visit this park and its zoo with your family for free, including free parking. It may be very busy and parking might be scare the first few days (specially weekends) that Toronto gets warmer weather and during cherry blossom. The zoo has a number of animals local to Americas such as Bison, Llama, Capybara, etc. Kids will enjoy interacting with animals but make sure they do not touch them! You can give donation to the zoo using the boxes along the road. The zoo has two entrances and the road is pretty steep.

Winston

Great park. Well tended. Animals, too.

Wayne Rabey

Good for little children. Nice playground near by.

Rajbir

It's okay lot of grass and trees and a lake with smell of fish and a zoo which keeps cows for display.

It wasn't quite in peak season yet

good recreation for kids.

Juliana M.

Small, but nice for kids!

Dorothy

Nice place for a walk ....

Praptasha

It's a great way to share the exp with family friends girlfriends vice versa and to relive cjildhood memorys

Julian Vaca

A small zoo in the heart of high park has a decent amount of animals and is a nice little walk that leads to a large park. Quiet and often never crowded, it's a calm place to pass through and see some new animals without having to pay for it to see.

Mahdi Ardekanian

all animals were in their shelters and there only a few animals. It worth just once and no more.

Yadwinder Singh

Beautiful place

Antonio Montesano

petting zoo pretty insane. 5

Kawaldeep Singh

It is a free admission zoo, could not complaint. However, more animals can be added to increase the charm.

Antoni Mac

Cute little zoo with a few animals. Perfect for toddlers. You can't pet most animals but they do have an enclosure with Llamas and baby chickens that you can hold, pet and feed

Mila Khanna

Fun for kids. Limited number of animals but easy walk for small children.

Vidya Jagannathan

Bad experience with bathrooms

It's not a great zoo by any means But it is free! Nice place to take the kids. They have growth plans. You can stroll and see the animals.

The energy here is so pleasant, makes for a great day out with the family. Make sure you visit the petting zoo! Its not just for the kids, trust me. (If you get there at the right time you can join the llama walk ????)

Tricia Beckford

Really nice! Our family totally enjoyed their visit to the zoo. Thumbs up to the staff who were very courteous.

Saneel Gaonkar

Zoo in centre of the park and the city wow

Kat W

I like the fact that it is free to enter. There are donation bins set up if you choose to donate. Not all animals are out during thr fall and winter but there is definitely enough to have a good time and see some cool creatures. I also really liked the info graphics about each animal. You can learn some interesting facts. And I appreciate that dogs are allowed to enter.

Nooruddin Khaja

Not a proper zoo, fewer collection but each animal habitat setup is large. Great place with lots of activities for family and kids.

Zingey

My kids love it there.

Ana Correia

Nice little zoo to go with kids. Its free

Nick Farnborough

See llamas, peacocks, and muskox in the city!

Ilana Y

Not enough animals to actually call it a zoo, but it's free and worth taking 10 minutes to walk through. Most animals seem to have a lot of open space as well as their own houses where they can hide away from park visitors when they're feeling shy.

Omar Mohammad

Nice park

Chris PL

Been coming here for 28 years, still a thrill

Small but cute little zoo with llamas and peacocks and bisons.

Mirwais Rezazadeh

Oooooh my God...

Phil Vania

Lots of trails to choose from. On occasion manage to catch hawks on camera. Different birds by thee water are always entertaining. Lots of parking but be aware of one way ring road in and around the park. Slow down as there are children and pedestrians on the roadway. The zoo is also an interesting place to visit

Yuriy

Great park, big and beautiful. Fishing is good too. Just on warm you can catch a bluegill, perch, rarely bass. On the weekends parking they closing now due to COVID. Animals still we can see.

Yvonne K

Love High Park! This amazing and huge beautiful park has the following: Skating rinks/sledding hills/swimming pools/cross country skiing/biking paths/hiking paths/a Zoo/green house/tennis courts/soccer and baseball fields, plus so much more to discover! Don't cut yourself short, visit this amazing serene park?

Lindsay O

Adequate place for children. Must be better places to visit. However good time spent for free

Hesham Farhadi

Little zoo is great and definitely recommend bringing kids or animal lovers. Generally it's not that busy but some weekends can be busy.

Fulvio Calogiuri

Most of the activities are shut down due to the virus .

Kelly Blend

It is a jewel in the city of Toronto from the cherry blossoms to the Shakespeare in the park. Even a little zoo in the middle and complete restaurant with breakfast specials midweek.

Marco Cardillo

For a small park zoo in the city it a quick visit for little ones to explore. Shaded walkways make it enjoyable on hot days.

Yehiel Ullman

Honestly - what more can you expect from a zoo in the middle of a park in Toronto? It's a fun time for how quickly you can walk through it.

Nadia Prando

Great for a walk and to see different animals!

jimmt dawes

Love the lay out and the information given

Babak Tajahmadi

Animals are not exotic which is good because they are more likely to be comfortable in the climate. Not enough space for alot of the animals though.

Alexander B

Great place to spend with family

tommy dear

Not many animals but good for kids

Great for family and kids however the washrooms were closed when we went, they have portable washrooms but be prepared

Surman Music

High Park is the secret natural gift of Toronto

Kaidian Gilbert

For free you can't complain. There wasn't very many animals to see. Plus the ones that were there were either resting or hiding. The kids did enjoy it

Greg Smith

This is a fantastic location to visit! These animals are well-cared- by the staff and they appear to be happy and healthy. The creatures they've selected to host are small enough to fit in a small zoo or enclosure. Ducks and geese can be found in the vicinity. It was fantastic! You can visit the bunnies and llamas on weekends and pet them under the supervision of volunteers. I believe there are plans to improve this zoo in the future, so you may see some additions.

Ilir Rryta

Lots of babys right now to see. Not my favorite place but it's cute does the kids.

Lung Jimmy

Amazing park, Zoo is very good and affordable

We got to see the Capybaras! Very excited to see them just relaxing. The Llamas were out and about as were a lot of the sheep and cattle.

A R

The zoo itself is amazing love bringing the family here.... but when I was there on the 30th of dec many of the animals didnt have any water, and one of the animals beside the llamas looked sick I belive it was the yak

poonam khanna

Great place for all.

Colette Vallieres

Beautiful visit with wonderful animals .. Great for kids!

Al Ty

Its a bit small, but the kids liked it. Easy enough to access. Would recommend.

A. Harry

It's a beautiful little zoo for people. Its not like the Toronto zoo but has a few animals that everyone can enjoy and appreciate it. My children enjoy it not only does it have a little zoo but has a swimming pool childrens park which is also listed as a top 10 park for children to visit in the city.

Franz Sinclair

This is a nice a little zoo in the park. Perfect for toddlers. Had a lot more animals than I expected. Best of all it's free.

Hadia

Nice place for kids

Susie M

Wonderful! Kids love it!

Fred Lewis

Fun place to visit

Adrian Morales

I'm just visiting the zoo, and almost all the animals are out of water. You can also see some of them licking the floor thirsty. It's really sad to see all these marvelous animals in these poor conditions.

Wendy Brown

What a lovely way to spend a day - walking through the park, admiring the scenery; visiting the zoo and seeing all the animals! The bison were quite impressive. The baby is so cute and the father is massive- I had no idea how big a bison could be. Stopped at the restaurant in the park for a bite to eat too.

Alicia Loo

Nice to walk around but I wish there were more animals to see.

Alim Mustapha

Nice park, free parking

Merlot Beauty Inc

Every year we always make a visit to the high park zoo. Not only do I love it but my dog does too! It is a small zoo but a great addition to high park. Highly recommend for everyone to check it out. :)

Dawson Smith

Nothing exotic but it's a beautiful walk.

Matt

Best park in Toronto, where you can leave the city but be in the city.

Milica Scekic

Love this zoo. Such a beautiful gem in a urban neighborhood. It is free off charge, small and manageable for little children to discover. We realy enjoyed it and will be back soon for sure !

S Z

Urban zoo, it's cool I guess

William G. Lozza

Nice free zoo, not a lot of animals but big ones in there. A must if you get into high park.

A.J. Clause

I moved to the city about half a year ago and have come here a small handful of times. I'm a big fan of being outdoors on hikes, especially in the fall! ???? I was recently told about there being a zoo here which blew my mind! Whether you're a fan of nature walks with friends and dogs or you like to see animals, High Park is the place to be! ????????

Ghazal Hemmati

Very small but kids like it.

Ustas Shtirlits

Great place for families, singles, and nature lovers !))

Ross Zammit

Nicest Park in Toronto.

rust blade

Been going to the HP Zoo my whole life and it holds a special place in my heart. Congrats on receiving the funding! I am so excited for this!

Andre Lobo

Terrible customer experience. Website clearly says entry till 7pm. Got here for just after 630pm with my 3 year old. He was really excited to see the animals again. Refused entry. Person at the gate said a sign near the entry says last entry at 630. I let them know they used to allow till 645, and website says entry till 7pm. She refused to listen. I said we will ensure getting out for 7pm, my 3 year old is really excited. No! I said you should make sure website is updated for others - no ownership taken whatsoever. She indicatea she would let her supervisor know. How does that help me or anyone? At least tell me you heard my complaint and will fix it. Feel really shitry for getting my 3 year old all excited about the zoo, and then having some poorly executed and random policy ruin his experience. Anyway, hope this helps others. Get there before 630pm - or perhaps before some other random time they decide without telling anyone!

Dee Hartford

This is a fun place to bring the kids, and it's great that it is free!

Brenda Whynot

awesome park!!@@

Reynaldo P

there is no where to park the vehicle and that complicates it.

Ken chow

Nice zoo

A Markus

One of the best place in Toronto. They have the best views on the spring and the fall seasons.

Rana Ibrahim

One of the greatest parks in Toronto, a park and a zoo all combined in one. Animals are cared for over there and the entire park is clean and huge. I would def recommend for family picinics and outings. Ps parking can get a bit hard on weekends but its not “impossible”

Kunal Mahajan

Plan a full day trip with family n friends.

Collins O

Great view of nature during summer

Huma Mehmud

Very disappointed this time as the animals were not well kept and didn't look in a good shape. Animals were looking for water and the water tank was empty, felt incredibly sorry for them and informed the management.

Seetha

Well maintained zoo. Fun watching the animals and birds.

Ashish

Always fun big park in the city

It's a fun place!

Santiago Rey

Nice place well maintained

Alex Chalmers

Only 4 stars because of the buffalo gave me a funny look

TNK

So great to have a space like this in the middle of the city for kids and parents alike. On weekends the zoo has feeding programs so you can take your kids, nieces or nephews to feed and pet animals.

Felice Gilpin

Fun!

Amit H

Not much to see really

Maya Krymchakova

Nice place to spend a day off with kids.

Dabi Yu

No variation. My kid was disappointed.

Anne

Still very popular among families with young children. Make sure to wear a mask and keep distance from people who are not from your own group.

Dan Ferguson

Oh so cute...and I heard they’re all rescue animals so makes me feel better I guess(?)

ana belen rubio vargas

Beautiful place but I think is too small for the animals

Vincent Ashkan

Nice place for ur kids, always available and safe

Gus Monzer

THEY LEAVE THE ANIMALS WITHOUT WATER ON SUCH HOT SUMMER DAYS. Isn’t enough that they’re keeping these animals captive for MONEY!!? Shame.

Frank Curia

The lama's were so friendly and cute.

helene 3698

Very nice zoo!

Jelo Sanquino

love it! its free all year long

Marshmallow Lulu

Llamas and capybaras here are the cutest ❤️

Mohamed Moselhy

Zoo was hard to find

Irving Santana

Free zoo! Don't forget to donate :)

Scott Payette

This facility is looking extremely rundown with many of the animals missing when in was here. I know that there is a revitalization plan based on donations but it almost appears that this is a never never plan. Saying this, my young children did appreciate coming here. It is right beside free parking near the playground.

Paul Chrétien

Beautiful place to go specially for kids ♥️staff is very helpful and they also do little activities for children which make children fresh in this summer season . It was an amazing experience, The property is clean and Love the safety measures in place and signs all over to remind you to stay safe. Highly recommend ????visit this place once.

Drew Pacheco

Very crowded. Must be very motivated and quick to be able to find a parking spot. The park is very nice and once walking around away from the masses of people it can be very relaxing.

unusually suspect

Not that much to see really. I guess it works if your a kid

Harry Bradley

Not as big as the Toronto Zoo, obviously, but still fun to visit. Well worth the trip.

amina ali Monjur

Free zoo few animals fun little walk

Rahul Wankhade

Such an amazing place but the only thing was missing is you???????? Must visit.

Anne Marie Smith

Great little Zoo. Good one way paths set up due to COVID. Was a little busy, but we went on a holiday Monday.

Farnaz Fassihi

Beautiful park, great to spend time.

Merrick K

Too much fun, the Bison were Majestic!

Kyla Drewette

Such a great (free!) zoo to take our daughter on the weekends. We usually stop at the Grenadier Cafe first for breakfast, and then walk down to the zoo. In warmer weather on weekends they setup a petting zoo where you can feed the lamas and capybaras, as well as hold chickens and rabbits. Sometimes you can also watch them walk the lamas up and down the road. The zoo is open in the winter, but if it's really cold some of the animals won't be outside. There's a great playground at the bottom of the hill too. Really a wonderful and inexpensive way to spend a couple hours on the weekend with kids.

pins

Nice zoo. Its better to come with your family and friends

Eric Savage

Hard to find entrance (covid)but great free zoo

Arie A

Nice free zoo but not adequate room for some of the animals.

Abdul Ayni

Kids loved all the animals.

Tien Le

Very beautiful park. It's extremely large and spacious, which is an ideal place for joggers, bikers and camping trips for families and schoolers as well. High Park has a zoo with a variety of animals that might keep your interest. Its scenes look gorgeous in summer and autumn due to the blossom of apricot and other plants. Gonna put your mind at ease!

bushra anwar

Excellent for school trips!

Top Reviewer

Great little day trip for the family. Various activities available

Lars Alexanderson

A lot of fun, the pens aren't very large and there's not a huge diversity of animals but for free admission it is definitely enough to keep you amused. Especially if you have kids or a child-like sense of wonder. I went during the weekend and did the "llama walk" and it was a lot of fun. You get to pet and feed the llamas, but they also have rabbits and baby hens which you can handle and they're quite docile. The llama feeding they do ask for a small $2 donation which is pretty reasonable considering the free admission.

Amina Arshad

Huge park great for a walk or bike ride. Lots of great spots to take pictures also. The zoo is a bit underwhelming so don't hype it up to your kids too much beforehand

Nikola Lapenna

The High Park Zoo presents a nice stroll through beautiful High Park. The Zoo hosts several different types of animals that are rare, including capybaras, mountain goats, and Scottish highland cattle. All the animals have ample room to roam and the zookeepers did a great job of providing food and water in humane and safe ways for the animals while we visited. The road to view the animals is short, but I believe it is definitely worth visiting for about 45 minutes if you are in High Park. Overall, a great experience and worth seeing every year or two when visiting High Park!

Sarah Cleaver

Free and lots of animals to see....such a lovely relaxing place to be, but still only a short street car journey away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Toronto ????

An outstanding family day out and free entry! What are you waiting for? On my visit to Canada I was stunned to discover this gem was free to visit, they have a decent range of animals, the camels and river otters are of particular note, a huge number of children's play parks, a small water play park and decent picnic areas mean that if you are reading this and haven't visited and have a younger family then you need to drop in. Decent parking facilities and clean toilets. 5 stars.

Nice small walking zoo. Good for kids just to see some animals like Llama, goats, cows, emu, deer and peacocks and more. Free parking available, but today it was closed for cars, so we parked on the streets across the park and walk in.

It's a unique place to visit for family, we liked the kids' wooden playground. The reason I gave 3 stars is the disorganizing of entrance to the main park and the zoo itself. There was a sign on the site stating no parking at weekends, so we parked outside. After a good walk to the zoo area, there was another sign telling all the people that this entrance is closed, come from the north gate near "whatever" café. Otherwise, everything was good.

I went to the high park zoo on december 25 with my kids. The place was nice and my kids enjoyed the animals. The only reason why i put 4 stars was because the washrooms were not open. We went with small kids and they needed bathroom. We had to leave soon because of this.

High Park zoo is a smaller zoo. But it's great for small children see the animals up close. The zoo offers activities for the children. Plus the park has lots of wildlife for the children to see. Such as ducks, squirrels, birds ECT. Please great walking trails, picnic areas, cherry tree blossoms, ECT. Plus areas play sports.

No parking in weekends.And very difficult to find one in the nearby neighbourhood as well

Best park in the centralwest end of City of Toronto. Quality has however declined from years passed. Much room for improvement... But not with today's Toronto's political agendas and lack of qualified personnel.

Great experience!

Liisa Epstein

Nice variety of animals, free parking close by if you can snag a spot. Bring cash. Good shade cover.

Dream Taylor

Lots of babys right now to see. Not my favorite place but it's cute does the kids.

One of my favourite places to go. Always take a different path and you'll never be disappointed. I love how you can feed the llamas in the summer. A great place to go for a hike or park a lawn chair somewhere and enjoy nature.

Alex Palches

Took the kids here after the remodeling. Loads of improvements, great free zoo and the kids loved it.

Went over the summer the past few years. There is so much to see and do at High Park. The zoo is small but so much fun for kids to see. It's free and if you live in the city it's something so easy to do if you are looking to entertain your kids. It's outdoors which is a good option with covid around. You can have a picnic, buy some ice cream, visit the splash pad and even go play in a huge playground which kids will love, Jamie Bell Adventure Park. Fun day trip for kids with young family.

I love the park but it needs to have more parking.

Animals look healthy and fit. They have good enough personal space.
