The Riverview Park & Zoo has announced they are ready to welcome the City of Peterborough residents for guided tours of the zoo.

Their small team of staff and volunteers have been ramping up to offer exclusive, safe tours to the residents of Peterborough. Starting on Saturday, August 15th, they will be offering four tours per day, five days of the week, for groups of up to ten people, until September 7th.

The zoo attractions remain closed at this time, including the splash pad, miniature train ride, buildings and facility rentals. The zoo will open these attractions when they are able to do so in a manner that ensures the safety of the public, staff and the animals in their care.

At this time, only essential staff are on-site, taking care of the 150 animals, their exhibits, the grounds and facilities. These limited resources mean that the zoo must continue to focus on what is most important, caring for the animals and protecting the staff who keep them safe.
