Discovering the Hidden Toronto ZOO Ontario

Mother’s Day weekend In R Dream family was invited to a Blogger’s Event “Discovering the Hidden Zoo” at the Toronto ZOO. It was an amazing day! Filled with memories we made, facts we learned & experience’s we will never forget. 

The main event of the day was “Discovering the Hidden ZOO” behind the scenes. We got to personally meet a 2 tone Rhinoceros “Vishnu”. He was HUGE & so beautiful! R family could of stayed behind the scenes with him all day. Watching him move, eat, he was very curious about us, as much as we were about him. He even was as kind to pose with R family for a photo shoot!

There was a lot of love in the air this Spring at the Toronto Zoo. Dancing Giraffe’s (as the kids called it) were a show stopper, they had a pretty big audience who were full of curiosity. Even the turtles & the Canadian Geese showed signs of love, during R trip.

One of the best parts of R trip to the Toronto ZOO was the unscheduled discoveries that were made. We enjoyed the peacocks that were running free in the picnic area & the rocks for the kids to climb. We let the kids guide the tour & with mother natures help, the discoveries that were made were priceless. 

The staff was full of knowledge to share & R children were ready to learn! I love the hands on displays the Toronto ZOO has featured throughout the park. If you R lucky you will catch one of the zookeepers there to answer your question’s & help teach inspiring minds. 

I am not sure I really noticed the Beauty ZOO animals entertain. I have always loved the ZOO animals, but this trip to the Toronto ZOO I found a greater desire & interest. We had been to the Toronto ZOO already this pass fall, which allowed us to take a less rushed approach this time around. The results were much more satisfying, giving us the opportunity to enjoy & feel less rushed as we walked around. It also inspired us to see things we have yet to notice before in a trip to the ZOO.



This trip touched me moments after I left. We couldn’t leave without knowing that we would be back soon. So we bought a membership. Which will not only give us a chance to return to discover, learn, play & enjoy. It will also help support the Toronto ZOO, their animals, the care they receive, the wonderful programs they have for the animals. 


This conversation is not done yet, I couldn’t leave this wonderful experience with just one post. Stay tuned as I share more about the Toronto ZOO… Stingray Bay…The Discovery ZOO…How you can support the Toronto ZOO…Who melted my heart!
