Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo
The Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo is excited to announce that a new animal will be joining the Zoo this fall. Can you guess who will be joining the Zoo?
We will announce the newest member of the Zoo family very soon. Stay tuned!
Rekindle a sense of childhood wonder with a trip to the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo. Meet an impossibly cute mob of meerkats, the cheeky Goeldi's monkeys, majestic grizzly bears and many other species at Saskatchewan’s only CAZA accredited zoo. Little humans love to play at the Orano Fun Zone playground — it’s not just monkeys who like to swing and climb!
