WE HAVE MISSED YOU!! Welcome back to your Toronto Zoo. The past months have been difficult for us all as we have worked together to deal with the challenges of COVID-19.

When you return, your Zoo experience will look a little different as we work to flatten the curve and take the steps required to look after everyone’s well-being. Our new one way experience with additional safety precautions is a great first step to reconnect you with your favourite Zoo residents as we move towards a full re-opening over the next weeks.

Thank you for supporting our mission connecting people, animals and conservation science to fight extinction. Endangered species need our help more than ever!

See you soon,
Dolf DeJong, Toronto Zoo CEO
