点评:We visited what’s known as Canada’s largest zoo—spanning an incredible 710 acres—and we can now confirm: it’s the biggest we’ve ever explored!
On a beautiful October day, we spent 5½ hours walking nearly nonstop (with just a 30-minute lunch break), and still didn’t see everything. We chose to skip the Canadian area after seeing signs that it would take another hour to explore, and the steep hills were a bit much for our tired legs.
There were so many animals to enjoy! Highlights included watching a hippo swim gracefully, a cute baby orangutan play with a water bottle, and wolves energetically chasing each other around their exhibit. The zoo volunteers were fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help point out hidden animals or guide us along the way.
The provided map was very helpful and made navigating the grounds manageable. However, the zoo app was disappointing: the font was tiny and the details were lacking. I highly recommend purchasing your tickets and parking pass online—it made entry and exit smooth and hassle-free.
If you love animals and don’t mind a lot of walking, this zoo is absolutely worth the visit!
翻译:我们参观了号称加拿大最大的动物园——占地710英亩——现在可以肯定地说:这是我们迄今为止探索过的最大的动物园!
在一个美丽的十月,我们几乎马不停蹄地走了五个半小时(中间只休息了30分钟),但仍然没有看完所有景点。看到指示牌说还要一个小时才能看完,我们决定跳过加拿大区,而且陡峭的山坡对我们疲惫的双腿来说也有点吃不消。
动物太多了!亮点包括看河马优雅地游泳,看可爱的小猩猩玩水瓶,以及看狼在展区里精力充沛地互相追逐。动物园的志愿者们非常棒——友好、知识渊博,并且乐于帮助我们找到隐藏的动物或一路指引方向。
提供的地图非常实用,让我们在园区内轻松导航。然而,动物园的应用程序令人失望:字体太小,信息量也不够。我强烈建议您在线购买门票和停车证——这样进出更加顺畅,省心。
如果您喜欢动物,并且不介意走很多路,那么这个动物园绝对值得一游!
