Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo
Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park and Zoo
A city park and zoo converted from a tree nursery, home to animals native to North America and well suited for families.
The Forestry Farm Park and Zoo lies in the northeast of the city. Originally established in 1913 as a federal tree nursery, it is now a National Historic Site, and the park retains the old nursery supervisor's residence and large wooded lawns. The zoo houses about 80 species, mostly native to North America, such as grizzly bears, wolves, bison, moose and lynx, and it also has a children's farm. Admission is about CAD 15, and it suits families with children for a half-day outing. In summer, you can have a picnic on the lawns.
