The Muskoka Wildlife Centre
The Muskoka Wildlife Centre is not a zoo, but rather an interactive learning park. It's a place where individuals, families and special interest groups can spend some time exploring the wonders of our natural world. Indoor facilities and fifty acres of scenic walking trails feature exhibits of many species of wildlife, native to Ontario.
Some of the resident animals are ex-pets or were abandoned, while others were injured in the wild and are now un releasable. These hand-raised and well socialized creatures live out their lives, nestled comfortably in spacious naturalistic enclosures. The park also features a picnic area, a summer-time food vendor, a gift/snack shop, on-site and off-site interactive wildlife programming.
