Assiniboine Park Zoo Education Centre

One of the better zoo's we've been to in Canada. Its clean, well kept, lots of exhibit variety. You can easily burn an entire day walking around this place. There is ample parking and the zoo is easy to get to. Getting through reception is fast and effective. There's typically volunteers spread throughout the park to assist you if needed. The main attraction is the large polar bear exhibit - the bears seem to be most active in the morning. Some other worth while attractions are the dinosaurs uncovered exhibit, aunt sally's farm, toucan ridge, and the kangaroo walkabout. Tundra grill is cafe near the Journey to Churchill exhibit and offers a great view of the polar bear enclosure while you have a bite to eat. Also inside the Tundra Grill is the Polar Playground - a great indoor play structure for the kids. Highly recommend the visit.

This is a great zoo! The polar bear and seal underwater walkway is amazing!!! Lots of other animals to see also. Easily walked in 2-4 hours depending on how much time you spend reading the displays. Super fun dinosaur area with animatronic creatures! Easy and free parking. We had a very enjoyable time.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Great zoo with plenty of interesting and exciting animal enclosures! Though it’s been a few years since I visited around 3 years, I remember it being a well put together experience, with animals I haven’t seen before. I went during Winter and there were many snowy animals on display outside, from arctic foxes to wolves and other wildlife. The indoor displays were equally impressive, with a nice stingray pool which you can approach and do some petting as well! A really nice polar bear exhibit as well. The gift/souvenir shop is quite cool as well with a ton of things to buy. Good pricing for zoo admission from what I remember. There are also zoo lights around winter time as well! Highly recommend this zoo if you’re in the Winnipeg area!

It was such a great time to visit. Morning animals were all up and about, having breakfast, playing. The polar bears were swimming! The seals put on a show. The gibbons were super active and interactive. The lynx was walking around only ever saw it sleep. There are still a lot of empty spots. Would be nice if something was done about the big pond enclosure.

The new gift shop is nice. The polar bear and seal building, where there is the walk-way under the water, that was nice too. Bathroom at the gift shop was clean. The animal enclosures was kinda sad. Felt for the poor tiger and polar bear and wolf - they looked bored and depressed. Lots of weeds around the walk ways. There weren't many animals and i guess we were there at the wrong time of day. I think the kicker is the price - 2 adults and 3 kids was over $80. Better entertainment value elsewhere.

This year I wanted to go for something less scary for Halloween and Boo at the zoo was a pretty good choice. They did a pretty good job decorating the place while making it a little scary for the kids. Enjoyed it very much. We also got a bucket of mini donuts and hot chocolates, very tasty 9/10 Best past was the

We love this zoo. Have been members for 5 years and have visited up to 3 times a week when it was the only safe thing to do with our household during covid. My kids learn so much about animals, animal care and knows the names of many of the zoo’s residents.Visited onWeekendWait time10–30 minReservation recommendedYes

Always a fun visit! We ended up finishing our day just at 5pm. We were met in the gift shop by some disgruntled employees who were trying to close the gift shop. Understandable! But clear signage and someone pointing to another exit would have been more helpful.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Great experience. A very good variety of animals available for viewing, and very knowledgeable staff can be found throughout the Zoo. Unfortunately I went mid day and a lot of the animals were sleeping and harder to spot in some of the bigger enclosures. Also, the Animals of Asia section was closed during my visit.Visited onWeekendWait timeUp to 10 minReservation recommendedYes

Great place to spend 3-4hours. Lots of animals to see and learn about them The zoo is nicely laid out, lots of walking with many convinces along the way. We loved eating the polar bear playing in the water and thoroughly entertained by the seals Monkeys are always a delight and seeing the gray wolf was amazing. Loved the visit... Enjoyed the butterfly garden near the end. We'd definitely come back again
