New Zoo Review - Toronto!

Sunday was our day to explore the Toronto Zoo. I am not the biggest fan of caging animals but an afternoon out in the sun touring a zoo's grounds and exhibits is rather pleasant. The T.O. zoo is huge and the grounds are very forest-like. We didn't stop to think that the Zoo on Sunday would be overwhelmingly crowded. It was.
Our time on the service road traveling north to the parking lot was over an hour. Accessing the parking lot by traveling Southbound from the North would be our unanimous suggestion. The Northbound traffic from the South, the way we came, was jammed while in the opposite direction it was almost non-existent.

It was a nice relaxing afternoon followed later by pizza delivery and board game playing at John's place. ...I won. :-)

I must admit I love zoos. Whenever I get the chance, mostly when traveling abroad, and go there! It's a fun place to relax and spot some cool animals.
