Penguin Walk: The Penguin Walk, presented by WestJet Cargo, has been cancelled for today, February 7th, due to high temperatures. We are hopeful to resume the walk tomorrow. Please check the zoo’s website and social media channels for any further updates.
ENMAX Conservatory: Last entry to the ENMAX Conservatory will be at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, February 13th through to Sunday, February 15th, to accommodate set up for our In the Heat of the Night event. The building will be cleared by 3:15 p.m. Thank you for your understanding.
Seasonal Closures
Gorilla Amphitheatre: The Gorilla Amphitheatre is closed for the season from October 15th, 2025. Our gorilla troop remains viewable in their indoor habitat.
Prehistoric Park: Prehistoric Park is closed for the season from October 27th, 2025, pending favorable weather conditions.
PETRONAS Gateway to Asia Malayan Tapir Viewing: ‘Sempurna’ and her calf have daily access to the main indoor habitat from 10:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m. They’ll also have access to their behind-the-scenes space and may choose to spend time there, especially when the calf is nursing, 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.
Bite-Sized
We’re celebrating Reverse the Red Day today by resharing our news about an exciting step forward in our commitment to one of Canada’s most at-risk mammals!
High in the alpine meadows of Vancouver Island lives a species found nowhere else on Earth. Once nearly silenced, the high-pitched whistles of the Vancouver Island marmot now echo again across the mountaintops—an unmistakable sign of hope, and a testament to decades of collaborative conservation work.
In partnership with the Toronto Zoo and the Marmot Recovery Foundation, we are proud to make an official Species Pledge to #ReversetheRed for the Critically Endangered Vancouver Island marmot.
This pledge reflects a shared commitment to sustaining the progress made and accelerating action to secure the species’ future.
