Toronto | Toronto Zoo in the Warm Sun After Snow

When visiting a city, I always try to find time to visit the zoo. I’ve always felt that facing animals can wash away the bitterness of a busy life and find peace in nature. Winter Park Highlights 🐻‍❄️ Polar Bears 🐻‍❄️: There are several, and they are quite active, perfectly integrated with the icy landscape. 🦁️ Lions 🦁️: I never expected that there would be African lions living outdoors. It must be tough for them coming from the vast plains. 🐆 Snow Leopards 🐆: In the Eurasia section, their spotted coats blend perfectly with the environment. In Toronto, where there are no cat cafes, come see the big cats to satisfy your craving. 🦦 Otters 🦦: Super cute, peeking out of the window to spy on us. 🦥 Squirrels 🦥: In the greenhouse of the Americas section, they were napping inside a glass house when I visited, along with the little golden monkeys. The trail to the African section is incredibly beautiful. ⚠️ The layout of the Toronto Zoo is based on the animals’ habitats by continent, unlike traditional zoos that are divided by species, so there are 🐍 in each state’s exhibit, which is extremely unfriendly for someone as timid as a mouse like me. The last photo shows the currently open parts of the zoo. Since the walkways in the African and South Asian sections are under repair, you can’t make a full loop and need to return the same way after reaching the African section. Luckily, the park isn’t too large. 🏷 Ticket Prices: Weekdays $22-26, prices vary daily, tickets can be purchased in advance on the website; separate payment for parking. ❗️ Don’t forget you can use Canoo! ❗️ ❗️ The free tickets from the library’s MAP pass are also available for reservation again, make sure to check at the beginning of the month! ❗️ 📅 Hours: Weekdays: 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM Weekends: 9:30 AM - 6:00 PM #LivingInToronto #NoteInspiration #TorontoWeekendGetaways #TorontoMuseums #TorontoKidFriendly #TorontoDateSpots #TorontoFoodExploration #TorontoGirlfriendsGetaways #TorontoZoo #TorontoOffTheBeatenPath
