Food and Drink

Returning visitors will notice that the long-standing Snack Shack has been removed. Your Riverview Park and Zoo team has been busy working on an exciting new venture instead.  Watch for more details to be provided soon!

During the summer and fall operating seasons, ice cream, chips, and candy can be purchased in the Gift Shop at Guest Services, and a number of drink vending machines are set up by Guest Services, the Splash Pad, and outside the washrooms on your way to the miniature train ride.

We invite you to bring a picnic lunch to eat at one of the many tables found throughout the park area.  Enjoy supper at the Park and Zoo instead! Our zoo animals are often more active in the cool summer evenings and the grounds tend to be less busy.

Water refill station locations

You can find water refill stations at the following locations:

  • outside the Guest Services building
  • beside the Splash Pad on the washroom building
  • near the Burmese python exhibit

We do not sell bottled water in the park and promote free tap water refills across the City of Peterborough. Please consider the environment.

Have a reusable water bottle?

We are big into conservation at Riverview Park and Zoo and we love Peterborough tap water. Be sure to bring your reusable water bottle to hydrate during your visit.

Don't have one? We've got you covered. You can find souvenir water bottles in the gift shop!
