A dedicated, family-friendly shuttle built to make a day at the Zoo easy — right through the summer.
Saturdays and Sundays from July 4 through September 7, 2026 — including Labour Day and two holiday Mondays.
$5 per adult and $5 per child. A stroller bench is $10. Cheaper than parking at the Zoo — that’s $20 a day on its own.
Catch the bus at Bloor/Yonge and we'll drop you right at the Zoo gates.
Pickups at 8:30 AM, 10 AM and 2:30 PM, with Zoo returns from 1:00 to 6:30 PM — pick what suits you.
A stroller must fold flat onto a seat; without a $10 bench, it needs to fit in the space in front of your feet. Look for the "Toronto Zoo Express" branded buses, featuring the Zoo's "Guardians of the Wild" design. The full timetable is being confirmed.
The Toronto Zoo Express runs every Saturday and Sunday — plus Canadian holiday Mondays — from July 4 through Labour Day, September 7.
One downtown pickup with several departure and return times, and a drop-off right at the Zoo gates. Get to your stop 15 minutes early.
Near the Bloor–Yonge subway station, in the heart of downtown — easy to reach on Line 1 or Line 2.
Pick the pickup time and Zoo return that suit you.
Right at the Toronto Zoo, 2000 Meadowvale Road — we drop you at the gates for the day, and the bus leaves the Zoo at 1:00 PM, 5:30 PM or 6:30 PM to head back downtown.
Seven zoogeographic regions, more than 3,000 animals, and a full summer of things to see and do — an easy, all-day outing for the whole family.
Say hello to this year's new arrivals, including a baby Masai giraffe, a Bactrian camel calf, and river otter pups.
Daily keeper talks across the Zoo — get up close to your favourite animals and learn what makes them tick.
A summer-long celebration at the Zoo — activities and fun timed to the beautiful game.
Wander Africa, the Americas, Indo-Malaya, Australasia, Eurasia Wilds, Tundra Trek, and the Canadian Domain.
Optional behind-the-scenes animal experiences for an up-close moment you won't forget.
Stroller-friendly paths, restaurants, gift shops, and shaded spots to rest between exhibits.
The Zoo is a trek from downtown without a car — and a pricey, crowded parking lot with one. We make the whole trip simple.
Parking at the Zoo alone is $20 for the day. A seat on the Express is just $5 — so the whole family can get there and back for less than the cost of parking the car.
Direct from downtown to the Zoo gates — no transfers, no long transit haul to the east end.
Skip the parking fee and the hunt for a spot on a busy summer Saturday. We drop you right at the door.
Comfortable, affordable, and stroller-friendly — let the kids nap on the way home while we drive.
Pickups from 8:30 AM, with Zoo returns up to 6:30 PM — a full day to explore in between.

Factor in the cost of gas, parking and renting a car, it's a lot cheaper than taking a personal vehicle.
Parkbus is a great option for nature lovers, whether it's a day trip or overnight camping getaway.
