In recognition of Autism Awareness month, Your Toronto Zoo is offering a Sensory Friendly “Walk on the Wild Side” early admission for guests to enter and enjoy our Africa Savanna where you will experience wildlife like never before as you come face-to-face with lifelike animatronic replicas during a less stimulating time, and without the added background sounds that can be challenging for individuals with sensory needs.
Please note that the animatronic movements cannot be turned off or down during this time. We encourage you to view a short video on what to expect during your visit with the animatronics

Some sounds and visuals are required for safety purposes, and these will not be altered during quieter hours. There is construction noise around the Zoo’s front entrance, Indo Malaya boardwalk and various areas throughout the Zoo.
Caribou Cafe Restaurant and seating area located in the Tundra Trek will be open to guests during this time.
There will be no access to indoor pavilions and most animals will not be viewable at this time.
Please note that there may be large crowds during this experience.
Guests are encouraged to visit the Toronto Zoo’s Accessibility Page to download our social story, sensory map and MagnusCards to help better prepare for your visit. These tools can provide valuable information about what to expect during your day at the Zoo.
Sensory bags with noise-canceling headphones and fidget devices will be available at our Accessibility Hub located in the Front Courtyard.
