Celebrate Easter and Earth Day with the Toronto Zoo’s “Party for the Planet!”

You’ll learn about how you can be an ambassador for living in a more eco-friendly way through programs such as Backyard Naturalists, FrogWatch and the EcoKids Program. The Zoo will partner with Earth Day Canada and twelve Ontario environmental education organizations, providing your family with fun resources for making a positive change in your world. The Toronto Zoo has also partnered with RainBarrel.ca to offer rain barrels at a special reduced rate over the Easter weekend; register for your rain barrel at RainBarrel.ca/torontozoo!

Today is the last day to “Celebrate an Eco-Friendly Easter,” so be sure to join in all the eco-fun at the Tundra Trek area from 10am until 4pm! Meet the Zoo’s recycling duo, Henry and Douale at 1pm, listen to the polar bears keeper talks at 12pm or 2pm, and watch out for “Explorer Bear” at the Zoo’s front entrance at 10am, noon, and 2pm! Admission to the Zoo is $23.00 for ages 13 – 64 years, $17 for seniors, and $13 for children. For more information on this Eco-Easter event, go to www.torontozoo.com.
