Toronto Zoo: Entry Ticket

About this experience

Book Toronto Zoo tickets for Canada's largest zoo Book Toronto Zoo tickets when you want a full day with animals across Canada's largest zoo. Your entry ticket opens more than 700 acres in the Rouge Valley, with about 5,000 animals from roughly 500 species spread through African savanna, Indo-Malaya, the Americas, Australian zones, and indoor pavilions. Buy Toronto Zoo tickets on VervTrip before you travel so you can walk in with a mobile confirmation and spend your time on the habitats instead of a ticket window. The grounds sit at 2000 Meadowvale Road in Scarborough, about 30 to 45 minutes east of downtown Toronto by car or transit. Plan a half-day or more if you want the outdoor loops plus the indoor houses; families with younger children often stay longer around Kids Zoo and seasonal Splash Island. Paths are mostly outdoor, so check the forecast, wear comfortable shoes, and pack layers for breezy ridge walks between regions. What Toronto Zoo tickets include Standard Toronto Zoo entry tickets include access to the animal habitats, Meet the Guardians zoo talks, the greenhouse, and the Wildlife Health and Science Centre. Kids Zoo and Splash Island open in season. Parking, Zoomobile or TundraAir rides, the VR Theatre, carousel, and seasonal Gorilla Ropes Course are sold separately on site, so budget a little extra if those extras appeal to your group. The zoo pairs visitor experience with conservation science and Indigenous traditional knowledge. Exhibits explain breeding and recovery work rather than treating animals as a quick photo stop. That mix works well for school groups, multi-generational families, and first-time Toronto visitors who want a nature day away from the downtown towers. Hours, prices, and how to get there Toronto Zoo opens every day of the year at 9:30am. From 13 October 2026 to 12 March 2027 it closes at 4:30pm, and last admission is one hour before closing, so arrive by early afternoon to see the main regions. Ticket prices change by season and ticket type, so the live rate and availability on VervTrip are the source of truth when you book; adult, child and family options appear at checkout. Arrive near opening for cooler outdoor walks and shorter lines at popular indoor houses. Driving is the simplest approach for most guests; paid parking is on site but not included with your ticket. TTC bus links serve Meadowvale Road from Kennedy Station and nearby Scarborough routes; allow extra time on weekends. Ride-hail drop-off at the main entrance works well if you are staying downtown and prefer not to drive. Once inside, follow the zone maps and allow buffer time between distant regions such as the African Savanna and the Canadian Domain. Plan a wider Toronto day After the zoo, many travellers stack a downtown culture stop. Pair your visit with Royal Ontario Museum tickets if you want dinosaurs and world cultures the same trip, or book Little Canada tickets for a miniature Canada walk-through that kids enjoy after a long outdoor day.
