You can watch everything for free. It's such a good park with wild animals and birds. This place is very much enjoyed by the children. There is a train ride available here. Very peaceful. I liked it specially the dancing peacock.

Fantastic place, you can tell all the animals are so well looked after. Excited to watch the baby dwarf crocodiles grow up over the next while. Snack bar is now open as of Victoria day 2023 and has very fast service.

This zoo is amazing! Free entry, no parking fees, and great facilities. According to their website, it’s home to over 150 different animals. Besides just seeing the animals, there are several interactive areas for parents and kids to enjoy together. I definitely want to come back here. Well done, Peterborough!

Lovely zoo and park, I would gladly have paid to visit. Donating instead :) The fact that it was free to visit and park was a bonus! Loved the train ride at the end of the zoo! Wished we had brought our little wagon to carry our snacks and water bottles. Our almost 5 year old wanted to be carried on the walk back. The wagon would make the visit even better. It's lots of walking for little feet :) we loved the meerkat's, such funny little animals. We also enjoyed the otters 🦦. Watching them swim around in the aquarium. We can't wait to go back if we are ever in the area again. There is a nice splash pad and lots of play structures at the parks entrance. Lots of places to sit and eat your lunch/picnic. The grounds are huge and extend beyond the gated area of the zoo. A nice family day for all ages :)
