The 7 Best Things to do in Rouge, Canada
We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

Lots of nice trails and places to explore the Rouge River and Little Rouge Creek. We even saw MANY crayfish in the Rouge. The Cedar trail is nice but the part closer to the Meadowvale trailhead is better because it's more shaded. The half of the trail closer to the Pearse House (where you can park) is mostly in the full sun. Along the Vista trail, there's a wooden lookout tower with 2 different platforms for viewing the Rouge River.

First time at the zoo since covid-19, and their protocols were very good. Masks are mandatory indoors and in some viewing areas where people tend to congregate. Timed tickets limit the number of people. One way paths were marked in several areas. Lots of hand sanitizer was provided. Washrooms had zoo staff to ensure that people wore masks to enter. Only one family was allowed in the washrooms at a time, and washrooms were cleaned in between each family. Zookeepers were present at many of the exhibits to chat about the animals. We found the giraffe and hippo zookeepers particularly helpful today. The baby animals were adorable. Even the sleeping lemurs were a hit with the kids. The red panda babies were at the medical centre, but we didn't visit today (not certain whether their state-of-the-art medical centre is open at this time to the public). Over the years, we have visited all the animals and the kids (ages 4 to 10) really enjoy it. We are long time members, so we enjoyed walking in the cool, breezy outdoors while admiring the animals. The centre of the zoo is a large forest, and the animals have relatively larger domains to roam in (than other zoos, I hear), so there is a lot of walking outdoors. Be prepared for the weather, whether it is sun, rain, cold, or heat. We usually pack our own water and food and there is lots of seating and benches for families to sit and eat. The zoo also has food and drinks and gifts for sale. Many families we saw had little kids and babies in strollers. Everyone was courteous and kept their distance from other families. Although we were outdoors almost all the time and it was breezy, many people also wore their masks outdoors. We wore our masks the entire time we were at the zoo from the parking lot onwards, and only took them off when we were far away from other people. We took the following walking route: Indo/Malay (lemurs!) - Africa (giraffe/hippo/zebra/rhino/lions/wildebeest/penguins) - Tundra (arctic wolves/foxes/polar bears) - Australia (kamodo dragon/jellyfish/seahorses/tropical fish) - Amur Tiger route - over 3 hours, with a brief lunch at a picnic table, with 3 kids. There are usually multiple angles to view each animal in their outdoor domain, so we were usually able to see the animals we wanted to see. The zoo is so big that it would likely take 3 trips to see everything (if you're walking with kids), so we had to plan our route ahead of time to decide which animals we wanted to see the most. The rides are closed, including the fun zoo mobile ride that our kids enjoyed and the splashpad and kids area that they love, but we were just grateful that the zoo was open again and we could walk around outside and see the animals once more. Our pictures from today are attached (except the polar bear and jellyfish pictures that had the kids in them). The parking lot fee goes towards buying food for the animals, so we don't mind. In autumn, I like to visit the Canadian domain for the yaks, bears, and forest colours, and in cold or rainy weather, I like to visit the polar bears the most because they get very active then. In summary, it was a great trip during these covid-19 times. Limited people, outdoors (mostly), good protocols, and lots of fresh air and walking to visit our favourite animals.
