Toronto Zoo

Rated this place:

361A Old Finch Avenue, Scarborough, ON, M1B 5K7

Outdoor attraction: What more could you want on a sunny day? you get to walk around while taking in animals you would never see roaming the streets of Toronto. I love how close you can get to them, but I plan on getting even closer to the lions one day (in their natural habitat, of course). Another plus is the cool map and different routes you can take, it's like going on a little safari without the airfare!
