Snack Bar (unavailable 2024)

Please note our snack bar will be unavailable this summer operation season.  We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

We invite you to bring a picnic lunch to eat at one of the many tables found near the snack bar and 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!
