Travelling Exhibit Coming August 2025 to the Small Mammal House!
Ticks – Little bugs, big problems is a small travelling exhibit brought to you by the Public Health Agency of Canada. Designed for children, little ones and grown-ups will discover the fascinating world of ticks through simplified scientific facts.
The Small Mammal House is home to a variety of animals including our Goeldi’s Monkeys, meerkats and African crested porcupines.
The Small Mammal House opened on June 10, 2023 following extensive renovations to the exterior and interior of the former Children’s Zoo. The interior features an open space educational area where participants can see, hear and smell the animals providing a fully immersive learning experience. There are also three new habitats on the second floor and enhanced spaces for zookeepers to continue critical conservation work and provide the highest quality care for the animals that call the zoo home.
