🐑 Oshawa Zoo & Fun Farm: A Charming Half-Day Escape from Toronto! 🚜

Last weekend, I visited Oshawa Zoo & Fun Farm—a super chill, low-key spot perfect for a quick getaway from the city! It’s small but packed with adorable animals, great photo ops, and a relaxed vibe. 📍 Location & Hours Address: 3377 Grandview St N, Oshawa Open: 10 AM – 5 PM (seasonal, May-Oct only) 🚗 Drive time: ~1 hour from downtown Toronto (free parking!) 🎟️ Tickets Adults: $17 (no student discount, sadly 😅) Animal popcorn feed: $3.50/bucket (get one per person—they go FAST!) 💡 Pro tip: Check their website for coupons before you go! 🦙 What’s Fun Here? More "farm" than "zoo," this place lets you get up close with super-friendly animals! Feed: Llamas (fluffy & goofy) Deer (always hungry) Goats, donkeys, horses, pigs, rabbits Kangaroos, lemurs, camels, peacocks! The animals are bold—your popcorn will vanish in seconds! 😂 📸 Instagram-Worthy Vibes ☁️ Blue skies + wide-open green spaces = perfect backdrop 🦙 Llamas are natural models (insta-worthy shots guaranteed!) 👟 No crowds = no photobombers! 🧺 Tips for the Trip Bring snacks (no real restaurants, but great picnic spots!) Wear sneakers (grass + gravel paths—RIP my white shoes 🏗️) Sun protection (hat/sunscreen—it gets toasty!) Relaxed vibe = perfect for a lazy stroll 👫 Who’s It For? ✔️ Anyone wanting a quiet, crowd-free outing ✔️ Animal lovers who prefer a non-commercial zoo experience ✔️ Couples/friends looking for a low-key, photogenic day trip Verdict: If you need a breather from city life, this place is a must-visit! 🌟 #TorontoWeekend #ExploreOntario #HiddenGems #CanadaLife #ZooVibes #WeekendEscape
