Granby Zoo

　　Granby Zoo opened in 1953, covering an area of 60 acres and was established by the then-serving governor. Over the years, it has become one of the most popular attractions in Quebec, drawing around 500,000 visitors each year to this magical animal world.

　　The zoo is home to over 1,000 animals from more than 200 species, some originating from Africa, Europe, and South America. They are grouped by type into reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, various birds, and fish. The zoo’s vast African savanna landscape, tranquil lakes, babbling brooks, and lush trees provide an ideal habitat for the animals. Visitors can see adorable giraffes, upside-down bats, crocodiles nestled together, seemingly dozing flamingos, playful hippos, and fierce tigers and lions. A dedicated tiger research center has been built to help researchers collect data for in-depth studies.

　　One of the most exciting experiences for visitors is the nocturnal animal tour. After nightfall, venturing deep into the park not only allows you to hear the chorus of flamingos but also the roars of African lions—though children must be at least 7 years old to join the night tour.
