The New Tundra Tank

Polar Bears

The bears are back. Newly arrived polar bears are Inukshuk, Nikita (pictured above), and Aurora. All three were rescued orphans.

Their newly refurbished exhibit – five times larger than before – features a bear den where visitors can go eye-to-eye with a live polar bear.

The bears’ neighbors in the Tundra Tank are snow geese, Arctic fox and wolves, reindeer and a snowy owl.

The Gorilla Rainforest

Gorilla Rainforest Exhibit

The zoo’s baby gorilla, Little Nassir, is a big deal. Seen here with his mother Ngozi, he was born Sept. 2, 2009. Ngozi was brought to Toronto to breed with Little Nassir’s father Charles in an effort to support an endangered species.

Charles named Little Nassir. Well, sort of. The zoo held a naming contest. Five finalist names were put in a bucket. Charles lumbered over and picked one that was, coincidentally, attached to his favorite fruit.

Cats of the African Savanna

Cats of the African Savanna

Cheetahs are critically endangered in the wild. The Toronto Zoo, however has managed to successfully breed them — helping to improve the breed's chance of survival.

Cheetahs can reach a maximum short distance speed of 80-112 km/h. Check with zoo staff to see if there are any new babies when you visit.

Great Deal !!

posted by Mrs. Sindhu on Jan-23-2012

Me & my husband traveled the city in a span of 8 days around Christmas & new year eve 2011. We kicked off with CN Tower on the first day. The 'glass floor' - 342 m above the ground was so very exciting & nerve testing for me & my husband. It just made our trip even more special and we were looking forward to the subsequent place of visits and the treasure they hold in them for us. Other attractions visited were the Ontario Science Centre, a must place to visit with your kids :) Casa Loma grandest residence of North America was architect by E.J. Lennox was like a small wonderland taking us back to Sir Henry Mill Pellatt's era (1859 - 1939) Royal Ontario Museum was a visual treat. It marked the significant ages of the parts of the world. Must watch are the 'Bat Cave' (Replicated from Jamaica origin) & 'The age of Dinosaurs'. Toronto Zoo was the feather in the cap. Visit to all the 5 major attractions in the Toronto city via City pass would be cherished all through my life.

Amazing experience on Toronto

posted by Diogo Silva Souza on Jan-21-2012

Last summer, I had traveled to Toronto to study and know another country. But when I was back to Brazil, I realized I had through for the most amazing experience in my life. Toronto is a incredible city, and the CityPass, was a better way to knwon every sightseeing tours of Toronto. I had expended basicaly one day on each place: Zoo (great and hot day, on biggest place), Casa Loma (classic tour on old fashion building), R.O. Museum (incredible discovery on this place), Science Centre (one saturday that i felt child again), and the best view of Toronto: CN Tower (you feel that you can touch sky). I liked a lot about my experience on Canada and I count the days to back.

Excellent product!!

posted by Rodrigo Vargas on Jan-14-2012

The City Pass is an excellent chance to know these cities. I am student and I do not have enough money to visit all places. Toronto is an expensive city (one of most expensive of the world), and The City Pass helps to save a lot of money. Toronto is a great city. I would recommend to visit The Toronto Zoo in spring or summer (is better). Rodrigo
