Bowmanville Zoological Park

Come talk with the animals! Bowmanville Zoo has over 300 creatures including many famous animal celebrities.

Visit them amidst 42 scenic acres of untamed, natural parkland. Bowmanville Zoo is Canada's oldest privately owned zoo. We're almost 100 years old.

Here we're dedicated to the protection and conservation of endangered species. Children (including those young at heart!) will learn about the animals in unique and entertaining ways, particularly through first-hand experience. Such an educational approach has proven to be most effective in facilitating learning.

Imagine such extraordinary and memorable events as feeding wildlife from around the world; riding an elephant or a camel; the thrill of recognizing animals which have appeared in movies, on TV shows, in commercials, in magazines and advertisements.

Our animal talent includes:

• most recent star, Baghera, the magnificent black jaguar from Peter Benchley's Amazon
• A bevy of camels from The Thirteenth Warrior starring Antonio Banderas
• Billy, the white Bengal tiger from the TV series Animorphs
  
  Plus, check out Bowmanville Zoo's amazing 400-seat indoor ANIMATHEATRE.

You're guaranteed to have a remarkable family adventure at the Bowmanville Zoo!
