I kicked off my adventure at a place that started with just a humble tree nursery. Fast forward a hundred years, and the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo is now a beacon of ecological wonder, educational inspiration, and unforgettable memories nestled in the heart of the Prairies. This National Historic Site features beautifully manicured gardens, meticulously restored heritage buildings, an imaginative new playground inspired by nature, and Saskatchewan’s only CAZA-AZAC accredited zoo. Whether you're seeking high-energy excitement or a peaceful retreat, this uniquely Saskatchewan experience promises to leave its mark on you.
Over 300 animals call the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park and Zoo home. Imagine the thrill of spotting them on your next visit! For an extra bit of fun, challenge your friends to a friendly cricket match, try your hand at fishing, or find your Zen amid the gardens. The sprawling grounds of the Forestry Farm Park have long been a haven for nurturing old-fashioned values like bonding with loved ones and soaking up the natural world around us.
If you need a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life, head to the Robin Smith Meditation Garden or the Heritage Rose Garden. The Saskatchewan Perennial Society poured heart and soul into crafting each of these gardens, and the results are nothing short of breathtaking. Did you know that the zoo also offers special programs and events throughout the year? These provide a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the animals and the environment, making every visit a unique experience.
