How to get to the Peterborough Zoo

At KN, one of the most frequent requests from out of town visitors is how to get to the Peterborough Zoo. We've compiled the information below and see the link to their web site and map.

Riverview Park and Zoo is a unique, recreational facility offering attractions to people of all ages. Located just north of downtown Peterborough, Riverview Park and Zoo is a fabulous place to enjoy a leisurely stroll in a peaceful and tranquil setting while experiencing the natural beauty of Peterborough.

For decades, the park and zoo have attracted over a quarter of a million visitors a year.

And no wonder - the zoo features 27 exhibits, with over 48 species, including Yak, Camel, Wallaby, Emu, Macaw, Squirrel Monkey, Cougar, Plated Lizard, Meerkat and more!

The park covers 55.5 acres and is the largest and most diversified playground in the city. It also features equipment for physically-challenged children.

With a splash pad, frisbee golf course, walking trails, a miniature train ride, and beautiful gardens the Riverview Park and Zoo has something for everyone.

For more information including, address and phone number visit the zoo page of the P.U.C.
