We went on the first day of the Panda exhibit. We got there at 9 am and got right in. Most of the animals are kept in a nice habitat with plenty of space. There are a couple of exceptions. We enjoyed the Zoo very much and are glad we took one of our vacation days to enjoy it!

The zoo was good, it was busy of course. There was some smelly attractions, and I think they need to update some of their cages etc. but all and all love seeing the animals. Lunch was good! and service friendly. :)

Such a waste of time and money took me 2 hours to get into the zoo...than spent roughly $100 to enter the zoo than I also had to pay for a stroller which looked like it was beaten to the ground...very little animals could be seen...everything is very over priced and its a huge rip off I'd rather go watch...

Although the Toronto Zoo is an expensive attraction in compariosn to other zoos we have visitied, it has something for everyone and is a full day plus attraction. There are a lot of animals to see and many buildings. There is a great water splash pad for hot days and a childrens zoo that has lots of things to see... More

We spent an entire day at the zoo and could've easily gone back for more. Unfortunately, two of the restaurants were closed and only the ones at the very start and end were open which made for some backtracking. The enclosures/exhibits are laid out in a relatively simple manner though be sure to grab a map! Be sure to bring... More

We went to see the pandas which was great. Their exhibit is well done. There was a little wait however it was total worth it. We are looking forward to seeing them again. The mandarin express was a complete rip off! 3 chicken balls for $6. If I knew that I would have bought a freaking combo for $7. Then... More

We recently had a family reunion in Toronto. This was an excellent outing.Would suggest that you bring water, snacks and comfortable shoes! Also plan for a full day if you have the time. There is much ground to cover and planning on the full day will give you time to rest and still see everything.

I am so glad I bought a season pass the zoo prices have gone up this year so if you are planning on going more than once then you should def get a pass. The zoo is constantly making improvements and it will always be a local attraction for Torontoians

Me, my husband, brother, sister-in law, cousin, and my son all went here last summer for our sons birthday trip. We kept getting told we wouldn't see the whole park in one day ( mind you at the time all of eurasia was under construction so we skipped that) but we saw all the animals except for the gorillas (...

There is a lot of animals which is nice. The zoo is spread out so do get the train pass as it will save you a lot of walking. My only complaint is the cost of the food very expensive but with that said they do have to raise money for food for the animals. Anywhere else I would opt... More
