Youngest Son and I had a lovely day out at the Toronto Zoo today. We visit regularly and have had membership since we’ve lived here but today we had a special reason to visit, we wanted to see the latest addition to the Zoo, Er Shun and Da Mao, two giant Pandas on loan from China. The exhibit has only been open for a couple of weeks and there are regularly long queues to see them. Luckily the zoo has been opening an hour early exclusively for members to skip the line ups.
They were both a bit sleepy when we saw them as it was still pretty early bit it was still lovely to see them and, for want of a better word, they are incredibly cute.
The whole zoo has undergone a bit of a transformation since they arrival of their new guests with panda photos and merchandise everywhere. We had some fun browsing the panda themed gift shop.
And we couldn’t help but make a little purchase too!
We managed to drag ourselves away from the pandas and enjoyed a wander around the rest of the animals.
I love pandas! My youngest actually has a furry panda hat/scarf/gloves just like that! xxx
Such a cuddly-looking animal! But I think they aren’t as friendly as they seem actually…!
We just might have to put ‘visit to the Zoo’ on our list for things to do In Toronto!
Love the panda hat
Gorgeous pictures of pandas, that made me say ‘arrgh’ out loud. And those hats look terrific. Sounds like a great day out xx #PoCoLo
Aww! Brilliant!
Great pics!
Great pics of the pandas! We went to see the pandas at Edinburgh Zoo – they are very cute, but much smaller than I had imagined – not really Giant at all 🙂 Looks like you had a lovely day out.
I don’t think I have ever seen a real life panda, what an amazing day. Glad you enjoyed it x
