Prepare to spend a full day at this zoo. Walking the entire park can easily take the entire day from the time the park opens at 9am to when it closes for summer hours at 7pm. The exhibits are larger than most zoos and therefore that means more walking. It is nice to see the animals have a nice amount of room to roam and not be confined to a tiny pen. The exhibits are also nicely displayed and kept up well. There are various pavilions around serving different types of food. The map you receive when you enter tells you the locations and types of food served at each restaurant. Make sure you have a camera to catch those great moments and if it is a sunny day grab a hat and/or sunscreen because a lot of the walking is in direct sunlight.

This is an excellent, ultra-modern, kid friendly zoo. I'm not a zoo fan, however, the animals look well cared for and have large spacious enclosures—a penthouse suite for caged animals I'd guess. Wear comfortable shoes; there's a lot of walking to be done to see it all. A wide variety of animals to see, places to eat, and informative demonstrations by the park staff. A little off the beaten path, so a car is the best way to get here. You can make it via subway and bus from Toronto, although this makes it a bit of a hike, especially with young children.

The Toronto Zoo was the highlight of my first trip to Toronto. My boyfriend and I went there basically because I had heard all about it and drove him nuts until he took me there. With all the different animal exhibits, there is almost too much to see in 1 day. In fact, we were there for about 3 hours and didn't see everything. The best part of the day for me was watching a family of polar bears swimming in their pool. They have some of those underwater-viewing areas, and that was the best part.

The park is beautifully laid out in continents. One can choose the preferred area and just follow the outlined path. There are restaurants and benches at strategic spots also. It is a people friendly place. There are people movers there as some walks are long for those who find it difficult to walk too far.
