Fabulous place for kids!! A MUST! My kids still love it (age range 7-14). We make the long trip one to three times a year! It is free and younger kids can handle the amount of walking. Toronto Zoo is too much for them. This place has a zoo (even camels), and incredible amount of playground equipment (even a massive tube slide that I would estimate is around 8-10 meters long), great splash pad, gift shop, washrooms, changeroom, snack shop, and a train ride. The train ride is the only thing that costs money. The last I checked, it was 2 per kid; parents ride free. They have an Otter and a Meet the Keeper demo. The Otter feeding is always fun for kids; it is around 1 or 1:30. They love to watch them swimming above and below water. *See my pics for more info. I don't have pics of all of the playground options. Oops, forgot to take a pic of the massive tube slide!
I too remember a time when the monkey house was down by the river, the zip lines, the pond with the swans and ducks and the gazebo where concerts were held. That was 20 years ago. Riverview Park and Zoo has been a part of Peterborough for many years and has only gotten better. Adding in additions such as the otters, the splash pad complete with changing house/washrooms, gift shop, newer monkey house, etc. I've heard before it is the largest free zoo in all of Canada. I'd believe it! I still come here every year I visit my hometown.
Having a nice time here, enjoying fun on splash pad , play ground here amazing place we will be back here soon.
For a free zoo, this place is definitely a keeper! I was surprised how clean it was and how healthy looking the animals were. Kids will definitely have fun in here because they do have splash pads and decent sized play grounds for all ages. Again, did I say it was free!?! You rarely get good stuff for free and this place is definitely one of them. Make sure you give donations to keep this place going.
I've been coming here for my entire life. I remember when they used to have zip lines, 2 giant slides, and the monkey house by the river! Of course the animals are the highlight. A great diversity of species and really well laid out. This place is made even more amazing by the fact that there is no admission!
It is free! Always a fantastic experience. A great way to spend the day. Water splash pad, lots of parking, big play grounds with lots of activities. Animals are happy, well kept and obviously well fed . There is a chip truck with all sorts of choices. The train ride is super fun for little ones. Park is clean and tidy. Staff are friendly. They also have a cute little gift shop.
Free zoo run by the local utility. Far exceeded our expectations. Don't expect pandas and Bengal tigers, but they had a nice variety of animals. We had a great time speaking with the other keeper, who clearly loves her job. There is a splash park too, so bring towels if it's a nice day.
