Riverview Park & Zoo
A free zoo and park on the Otonabee River, with wallabies, monkeys, birds, and a mini train, popular with families.
This zoo, funded by the local utility company, is completely free. It houses dozens of animal species, including wallabies, squirrel monkeys, camels, and parrots. The park also has a children's splash area, a playground, and a small train that runs in summer for a small fee. A riverside greenway lets you cycle to downtown. It's a good half-day outing for families with children.
