Riverview Park and Zoo is a unique, recreational facility offering attractions to people of all ages. Located just north of downtown Peterborough, Riverview Park and Zoo is a fabulous place to enjoy a leisurely stroll in a peaceful and tranquil setting while experiencing the natural beauty of Peterborough.

For decades, the park and zoo have attracted over a quarter of a million visitors a year!

The zoo features 27 exhibits, with over 48 species, including Yak, Camel, Wallaby, Emu, Macaw, Squirrel Monkey, Two-Toed Sloth, Plated Lizard, Meerkat and more!

The park covers 55.5 acres and is the largest and most diversified playground in the city and also features equipment for physically-challenged children.

With a splash pad, Frisbee golf course, walking trails, a miniature train ride and beautiful gardens the Riverview Park and Zoo has something for everyone.
