Group and Class Visits
Group bookings & in-person education programs
Programs are now fully booked for the 2022 season in May/June.
90-minute Zoo Treks are available to reserve with your class or group.
We also offer two and four hour curriculum-based programs, consisting of in-class exercises, an animal encounter, and a tour of the facility. The programs are run by trained Zoo educators along with the support of the classroom teacher and chaperones. Programs run on most school days.
Special weekend visits or summer programs are available upon special request.
All programs are full for the season! Please visit the site to book your spot early next season.
Buses
There is no on-site bus parking. Buses are only permitted to load and unload in loading zones.

Contact us prior to your visit or check in with Guest Services upon arrival. Picnic Shelters must be reserved in advance and are mostly booked for class trips in May and June 2022.
Zoo Rules
- Respect the animals (e.g., Do not shout or agitate the animals)
- When I hold my hand up, please quiet down and listen up! This is for safety and is very important.
- If you have a question, please hold up your hand
- Do not feed the animals any food or garbage (they are on strict diets)
- Please do not hit/tap on the glass of the exhibits
- You must stay 2 meters away from people outside of your family/group, and 2 meters away from exhibits with our vulnerable animals. These include Cats (servals and lynx, Primates (monkeys and lemurs), Musca lids (Otters and Meerkats - weasel family, carnivorous mammals)
- We are mask-friendly and request that if you can you please keep a mask on for the duration of the tour or use distance from others and the animals to keep them safe.
Teachers, could you please go over the zoo rules ahead of your field trip with students and parent helpers. We know this is the first field trip in a while and we want to make sure that everyone is safe and learns how to visit the zoo animals in a good way. -
Thank you/Miigwetch
