The countdown is on! Wild Canada will open to the public and members at 11 a.m. on December 1st, 2023! Visitors may still enter the zoo at 9:00 a.m., as per our normal business hours.
We look forward to welcoming visitors back to the space when the new Wild Canada zone officially opens on December 1, 2023.
To simplify our membership program, we’re moving to a two-tiered structure – Wild Explorers and Wild Adventurers. The difference between the two? It’s all about the perks you receive!
