The Forestry Farm Park & Zoo
About The Forestry Farm Park & Zoo
The Forestry Farm Park was started in 1913 and officially opened in 1914. The Farm was dedicated to the propagation and production of trees from the prairie environment. The site was known as the Dominion Forest Nursery Station, a branch of the Indian Head Nursery Station.
Today, the Forestry Farm Park is a National Historic Site.
There is an interpretive display in the Superintendents Residence depicting life at the Sutherland Nursery Station. The Friends of the Forestry Farm House also conducts interpretive tours of this National Historic Site.
Meet cute meerkates or admire the monkeys and majestic bears and lots more at the zoo! The little ones will also enjoy playing in the fun zone playground. In the Winter months the bears may be asleep but many of the other animals thrive in the cool weather including their snow leopard. Stop by and say hellow to the porcupines as well.
You'll also find a butterfly house where you can explore and admire the colourful creatures flying around your head! There's also the express train which will take you around the zoo too.
