RIVERVIEW PARK & 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. And no wonder - the zoo features 27 exhibits, with over 48 species, including Yak, Camel, Wallaby, Emu, Macaw, Squirrel Monkey, Cougar, Plated Lizard, Meerkat and more!
The park covers 55.5 acres and is the largest and most diversified playground in the city. It also features equipment for physically-challenged children.
With a splash pad, frisbee golf course, walking trails, a miniature train ride, and beautiful gardens we have something for everyone.

ZOO ANIMAL HEALTHCARE CENTRE
FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN
Plans are moving ahead with our Zoo Animal Healthcare Centre. Please click here for more information about fundraising and how you can continue to help!
Riverview's continued accreditation with the Canadian Association of Zoos and Aquariums depends upon construction of a new Zoo Animal Healthcare Centre. Zoo animals require a special space to receive healthcare: medical treament, surgical procedures, and quarantine facilities.
Since its inception in the 1930s, Riverview has greatly expanded in space, recreational and educational opportunities for the public, and in the size and diversity of its animal collection, thanks especially to the generous gifts of individuals, families and community groups. We are applealing to this wonderful tradition of giving to meet the needs of today.
