PETRONAS Gateway to Asia Malayan Tapir Viewing: ‘Sempurna’ and her female calf ‘Nyawa’ have daily access to either the main indoor habitat or the outdoor habitat from 9:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. They’ll also have access to their behind-the-scenes space and may choose to spend time there, so viewing isn’t always guaranteed. Thank you for your understanding.
Exploration Asia
The Exploration Asia Redevelopment project is officially underway! While there are some viewing impacts in the area, you can still visit many of your favourite species.
Due to significant construction activities in and around Exploration Asia, the zoo’s West Gate will remain closed for the 2025 season and is expected to remain closed until at least 2028/2029. This necessary step supports the safe movement of visitors while we undertake exciting improvements to animal habitats and visitor experiences.
On-site Program
How can humans help keep bears wild? Join us as we explore the fascinating world of Canada’s three bear species: grizzly bears, black bears, and polar bears. Learn all about bear diets, habitats, and behaviours through games, storytelling, and hands-on investigation of biological artifacts. Along the way, examine how human actions can affect bears in the wild and explore ways we can safely share spaces with wildlife while helping to promote healthy ecosystems.
