Northwood is a Non-Profit Sanctuary Dedicated to providing a clean, safe and loving environment to over 100 exotic animal species. Including Tigers, Lions, Primates, Bears, Wolves, Buffalo, Eagles, Owls and other wonderful creatures.

Here they are provided the care and respect they deserve so that they may live out their lives with dignity. We have a responsibility to provide for them the best life possible. Hopefully, despite some of their respective backgrounds, they can learn to trust people again.

It is our sincere hope that through public awareness and education we can all learn to share our world with the many diverse species on it, and develop a much better understanding of and kinder treatment towards our animal friends.

 

Northwood is fully licensed by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. Northwood also provides Educational tours for Public Schools, Senior Citizen Groups and Special Needs Groups, to name a few. With Education being one of our main goals, we pride ourselves in sharing our experience and knowledge not only with the general public, but also with students involved in Work / Education Placements through the Oshawa business school and Durham College as well as Secondary School Co-op Placements. We are also participants in the Ontario Disability Support Program, Scugog & Durham Region Tourism, various community events and also charitable organizations such as The Children’s Wish Foundation.

Oshawa Zoo

The Oshawa Zoo offers a clean, rural, child friendly experience for your whole family, look no further.

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’s Oak Ridge Moraine.

The Oshawa Zoo is entirely funded by the Visitors that pass through our gates, and the sale of animals to other zoos across Canada.

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.

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.

Our Grounds Feature
 
-Over 40 species of friendly and tame birds and animals
-22 fenced acres, Picnic area,refreshment and animal food kiosk.
-Exotic animals like camels, lemurs, macaws, monkeys, peafowl, coatimundi, Patagonian cavies, llamas, wallabies and many more!
-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
