Nice little zoo in the middle of the city. Free entry. Public washrooms. Community room and picnic area. It connects to a greater network of parks in the lower area. Some animals there to see. Do not feed them or pet them. Very well maintained and clean area.

Went here in the spring with one of my friends and it was awesome to see animals for free!! Also there’s some trails to walk super close by It’s a good hour of walking around and looking at animals plus it’s pretty close to TMU so if you’re a uni student and have nothing better to do, why not look at cows and chickens!!!

This mini animal park is perfect for families, kids, or anyone who loves getting up close with animals. The enclosures are well-kept, and the animals look happy and healthy. Our kids loved feeding and touching goats. It’s the perfect size for a fun, relaxed visit without feeling overwhelming. A wonderful place to spend an afternoon—highly recommended!

A peaceful escape in the heart of Toronto. It feels like stepping into the countryside, with friendly farm animals, beautiful gardens, and shaded walking paths. Great spot for a quiet stroll or a family visit, especially for kids who love animals. A hidden gem just minutes from the city noise.
