Animal health care centre

The animal health care centre allows us to provide exceptional health care for the animals at Riverview Park and Zoo. This onsite facility has two large holdings, several smaller holdings and a treatment room for medical examinations and surgical procedures. It is well equipped to meet the needs of the animal health team and the stringent standards of the CAZA/AZA requirements for quarantine, medical and preventative health care treatment.

We are thrilled to have this facility to provide regular health check-ups to our zoo animals. This facility helps with performing simple dental cleaning and examinations to our animals with reduced stress.
