Toronto Zoo Events Calendar
Thanksgiving weekend at the Toronto zoo!
Saturday, October 12 to Monday, October 14
9:30am to 6:00pm daily
Nestled in the heart of the Rouge National Urban Park with over 10KM of scenic walking trails, Toronto Zoo is one of the most picturesque spots in the city to enjoy the natural colours of fall this Thanksgiving weekend. It’s the perfect opportunity to check out our many photo opportunities around site, take advantage of the beautiful foliage, or capture a special moment with friends and family while surrounded by the Zoo’s 5,000+ animals.
All photo opportunities are free with Zoo admission and subject to change without notice.
GRIZZLY BEAR THANKSGIVING FEAST

Visit the Grizzly Bear Keeper Talk at 2:00pm on Monday as Samson and Shintay enjoy their very own special Thanksgiving Feast as they bulk up to prepare for hibernation.
