Why Visit the Toronto Zoo in 2025?
Celebrating 50 years of wildlife conservation and education, the Toronto Zoo is not just a destination—it's an experience that’s constantly evolving. From immersive habitats to cutting-edge conservation projects, there’s always something new to explore. Here's a roundup of what's new this year:
A Fully Accessible Boardwalk Experience
In November 2024, the Zoo unveiled a brand-new fully accessible boardwalk, connecting the Indo-Malaya and Africa zones. This 315-meter-long, 3-meter-wide trail allows guests of all abilities to stroll through a stunning Carolinian forest. Along the way, enjoy elevated views of the Sumatran tiger habitat and the orangutan outdoor towers. Not only is this boardwalk a marvel of inclusive design, but it’s also built with sustainable materials, reinforcing the Zoo’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
Renovated Greenhouse & Botanical Zones
Spring 2024 brought a fresh new vibe to the Zoo’s greenhouse, which now features immersive plant displays spread across interconnected rooms. These botanical zones simulate natural plant environments that enhance animal habitats and offer guests the chance to engage in plant-focused educational experiences. With eco-friendly upgrades like improved insulation and automated climate controls, this space is as green in function as it is in theme.
Toronto Zoo Community Conservation Centre (TZC3)
One of the most exciting new additions is the Toronto Zoo Community Conservation Centre (TZC3), opened in June 2024. This educational hub is home to a river otter habitat, a conservation turtle breeding facility, interactive labs, and classrooms. Perfect for school trips and community programs, TZC3 serves as a powerful reminder of the Zoo’s long-standing role in protecting endangered species and promoting conservation awareness.
Guardians of Wild
In February 2025, the Zoo launched its ambitious Guardians of Wild Strategic Plan, setting the tone for a bold new era. This plan focuses on five key pillars:
Saving Canadian species through advanced conservation programs
Becoming a global leader in wildlife biobanking
Creating unforgettable and inspiring guest experiences
Connecting students and researchers with the science of saving wildlife
Leveraging technology to drive conservation solutions
This plan positions the Toronto Zoo as more than just a visitor attraction—it's an engine of change, community, and science.
