			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.oshawazoo.c"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-81" title="Oshawa Zoo" src="http://www.durhamcentral.com/durhamdirectory/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/oshawazoo11-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>The <strong>Oshawa Zoo</strong> offers a clean, rural, child friendly experience for your whole family, look no further.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We feature 45 species of tame Exotic and Domestic animals that feed from your hand in an open interactive environment. We are situated on Oshawa&#8217;s Oak Ridge Moraine.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Oshawa Zoo is entirely funded by the Visitors that pass through our gates, and the sale of animals to other zoos across Canada.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Oshawa Zoo and Fun Farm opened its gates July 29th, 1993. Our goal was to have a clean, green, interactive mix of friendly exotic and domestic animals.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-83" title="Oshawa Zoo" src="http://www.durhamcentral.com/durhamdirectory/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/oshawazoo2-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" />The enclosures and paddocks were to be made large enough that the grass would remain thick and green during the entire season. We have set out to exceed national Zoo standards for size. Children and animals would be able to interact through the fences for feeding and petting. Kids could grow up with friends in the animal world that they know by name, grow up with them as they feed orphaned animals by bottle, until those animals have babies of their own.</p>
<p><strong>Our Grounds Feature<br />
 <br />
</strong>-Over 40 species of friendly and tame birds and animals<br />
-22 fenced acres, Picnic area,refreshment and animal food kiosk.<br />
-Exotic animals like camels, lemurs, macaws, monkeys, peafowl, coatimundi, Patagonian cavies, llamas, wallabies and many more!<br />
-Domestic animals like goats, sheep, potbellied pigs, mammoth and mini donkeys, Texas long horns, belted Galloway, and miniature Dexter cattle, as well our new miniature Horses</p>
<p><strong>Location:</p>
<p>Oshawa Zoo<br />
</strong>3441 Grandview Street North<br />
Oshawa, ON<br />
