Animal Viewing Impacts:

Wild Canada

Our grizzly bears ‘Skoki’ and ‘Khutzeymateen’ will be off-view from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, July 16th, while contractors complete work in the habitat. 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.

Species Viewable: Bactrian camels, Komodo dragons, white-handed gibbons, Malayan tapirs, red-crowned cranes, Turkmenian markhors, Amur tigers, wild boar, and Pallas’s cats. Plus, our Dalmatian pelicans can be found in their temporary home at Land of Lemurs!
Species Not Viewable: Snow leopards and red pandas have been relocated during construction, but don’t worry – these beloved species will be back in 2026.

West Gate Closure

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.

Welcome, ‘Marshie’

Hop on the caravan, we have exciting news – another female Bactrian camel has joined our zoo family! We are excited to welcome 7-year-old ‘Marshie’.

Marshie is now calling the camel habitat in Exploration Asia home alongside our other Bactrian camel resident, 18-year-old female ‘Zsa-Zsa’. Marshie seems to be settling in well and has even been seen sharing the camel shelter with her new habitat mate!

Stop by the yard outside of Gateway to Asia to catch a glimpse of our newest resident.

Welcome, ‘Marshie’
