We've got a brand spanking new Highland calf at the Zoo. And she is sooo cute. After a very active naming contest, her official name is Molly McMoo. 

Many thanks for the more than 550 people who responded. It was a close race, with Molly McMoo getting 43 per cent of votes. Poppy came in second and Winnie in third. They are all great names, but we think Molly McMoo is perfect ❤️.

Want a fun game to play with your children and friends? Want to get to know Toronto’s largest public park and its Zoo?

Of course you do. But times are tough right now for Canadians. So elbows up,

Friends of High Park Zoo has two fun, digital adventure games to play for only the

cost of what you can. That’s right, it’s our ClueSolvers pay what you can for the

remainder of 2025.

As of May 1, we are offering both games for what you can afford. The games can be played anytime and are a great activity for your favourite, child, teen, family or friend. See here for details. 

Join us for our annual Snowflake Walk on Sunday, December 15, between 5 and 8 pm. This is a magical time at the Zoo, as the sun goes down and the lights are set ablaze on the holiday trees. 

Carolers will serenade you with holiday favourites and Santa will pay a special visit to the kids. There will even be a sweet treat for all visitors. 

And for those looking for last minute gift ideas, Friends of High Park Zoo will have Zoo animal stuffies, digital adventure games, wool shorn right from our llamas, a collectible holiday ornament, and more.

Our fourth annual Friends of High Park Zoo Snowflake Walk is brought to you with help from our presenting sponsor, Re/Max Professionals Sidorova Inwood Realty, inc, along with Bloor West Village BIA, Babiak Team Real Estate Brokerage Ltd., and Dicemark Capital, with in-kind donations from Canadian Tire, Maker Bean Cafe, Neighbur.net and Shout Sister! Choir. With their support, the price is still only $10 per family.

Thank you to everyone who visited the llama pen this season! Your support means so much to the Zoo. The llama pen activities are now closed for the winter, but we can’t wait to welcome you back in the spring!

It’s been feeding frenzy at the llama pen in High Park Zoo. Families from around the GTA and even Montreal were on hand recently to get close to and hand feed the llamas. The Zoo is open every day, year round. The cost is just $2 to feed the llamas on weekends and holidays between noon and 2 pm. There’s colouring and a touch table and a few Zoo goodies are available too! The llama feeding is generously funded by Friends of High Park Zoo.

Wool made from the fleece of the High Park Zoo llamas will be going on sale. We've got a few dozen skeins of llama wool, mixed with merino or sheep's wool. Each skein is 100 grams (or 175 yards) of three-ply worsted weight, which is enough to knit a pair of mittens, a hat or a toasty scarf. Skeins reflect the colour of the llama in shades of tan, brown and grey from Jet, Stardust, Honey, Limia, Arianna, Jazz, Tango, Chiquita and Luna.

The price per skein is $50 for 3 ply worsted weight 100 grams, 175 yards.  Funds will go toward FHPZ's Master Plan to make necessary improvements to our 130-year old Zoo. 

To purchase llama wool please contact events@highparkzoo.ca.
