The Small Mammal House is home to ring-tailed lemurs, meerkats, Goeldi’s monkeys and African crested porcupines. Stop by the Dingo Den to see Maple and Euci, then explore the Affinity Learning Centre, featuring poison dart frogs, Gila monsters, axolotls and more.
Daily winter admission rates effective, November 1, 2026:
All rates include applicable GST and PST.
*Family is defined as a group up to seven individuals with a maximum of two adults.
Limited-Time Zoo Season Pass Offer
Make the most of winter visits with a Zoo Season Pass.

Current Passholders: Renew Early and Choose a Perk
Current Zoo Season Pass holders who renew at the Zoo by December 31, 2026, can renew at the 2026 rate and choose one renewal perk.
