Toronto Zoo: Think Twice Before You Go
When the Toronto Zoo opened its gates in 1974, it was a state-of-the-art facility, that left visitors in amazement. Now, after over thirty years of lame expansions, this zoo has really made a non-name for itself. Although, it is the third largest zoo in the world, the atmosphere simply doesn't give you the same feeling as other Torononian attractions.
And there are 5,000 animals to see and the animals are usually impressive, but everything else- the buildings, cages, paths, plants- just seems a bit shoddy and unmaintained.
Another thing is that numerous animals aren't even brought out some days. If you went just for that animal, it gets really annoying when it isn't there. Even if they are all there, you'll have walk quite a while too see a group of animals.
In my mind, I would pay 20 bucks to walk all day.
All in all, I would never recommend spending a day here if you've only got six other ones. Toronto just isn't about zoos. I'd much rather spend some time in the nightlife of urban Toronto.
