I've never been to a zoo before. Ever.
But I live in one, so why should I want to go way out and see one? So much work, AND money.
But we DON'T have live elephants here, or giraffes. Which I'd love to see. Just monkeys, pigs, and monsters.
But yeah, I thought we could try camping for a day this week, but then I went outside. Brr!! So we thought maybe the Toronto zoo. It looks like they have several buildings with animals in a sheltered spots. Is that true? It might be chilly, and might not be, when we might go (still only an idea). But if it's got sheltered places to spend most of the time, then we could go inside as a back up, and brave the cold going from spot to spot, if that's what we had to do.
Anyone have ideas of a good day adventure in TO?

They do have a few buildings with birds and reptiles....but the bulk of it (I think) is outside, very far apart, and requires tons of walking
i haven't been to the TO Zoo, but from the reports i heard match marian's. LOOOOOTS of walking. outside.
take 'em up the cn tower. or visit the old castle, if you want history. or find a fun play place like "little goobers" or something. adults play free! :)
OR have sis in law over for tea. cuz that's the best adventure of all! ;)
did we not visit a zoo on one of our many class trips?? that's too bad if we didn't!! want to go to detroit zoo with me? i've never seen that one :)
Roze, I totally agree that the zoo is just a looooot of walking and most of it is outdoors. You may wish to consider the Science Centre. You can go to their website and click on Virtual Tour. On the light green building there are 2 things to click on. One area is for children under 8 and I think it would be a lot of fun. Maybe someone has been there with little ones and can give you more feedback.
I 2nd the science centre they've got some awesome kid centres or you could just watch the flame-throwing shows. Membership may be an option depending how close by it is. A 3 year membership in Vernon is only $90 and we get to go all the expensive science centres - Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and PG - for free with that membership! (A day pass value of $65!!) MGV
