Toronto Zoo is now offering a new experience to its visitors: drive-thru zoo visits. The zoo has developed an “innovative new interim plan” to offer a safe drive-thru experience that meets the province’s reopening requirements. CTV News has more details:
“The pre-booked driving route would allow guests to see the Zoo’s animals from the comfort and safety of their own vehicle along a 3.4 kilometres route,” the zoo said in a statement.
The public will be able to pre-purchase tickets online once it gets approval to reopen, the zoo said.
The zoo, located near Meadowvale Road and Old Finch Avenue, north of Sheppard Avenue East, has been closed since March 14 due to the COVID-19 crisis.
It has taken a financial hit due to the closure. In April, the zoo laid off 118 non-permanent employees and paused summer hiring.
