Magnetic Hill Zoo

Magnetic Hill Zoo is a zoological facility in Moncton that houses diverse animal species from different climatic zones and world regions. The grounds are laid out with enclosures designed to reflect the natural habitats of the animals.

The facility began in the 1950s as a farm focused on raising wild animals. It was later transformed into a public zoological facility and has evolved into a larger institution over the following decades.

The zoo serves as a gathering place where visitors can observe animals from around the world and learn about their habitats. The facility plays an active role in the community by offering families a destination to explore and discover wildlife.

The zoo is best explored on foot, so comfortable shoes and weather preparation are recommended for visitors. There are benches at various locations throughout the grounds for resting and observing the animals.

During winter months, the zoo operates a large light festival that illuminates the entire grounds with glowing installations. This seasonal event transforms the facility into a festive attraction that draws visitors during the colder season.
