You may expect to see creatures like bears and beavers roaming about in Ontario, but it turns out the province is also home to something much larger. You can visit a reptile zoo filled with snakes, crocodiles, and massive moving dinosaurs that will make you feel as though you're in Jurassic Park. Ontario's Indian River Reptile Zoo will transport you to prehistoric times, and you don't even need a time machine. Hop in your jeeps and speed off to this reptilian park. Located just outside of Peterborough, the Indian River Reptile Zoo is a hidden gem full of prehistoric wonder. The non-for profit charity focuses on reptile conservation, and you can see over 400 creatures including boas, pythons, crocodiles, tortoises, and even dinosaurs. The massive Dino Park features life-sized replicas all sorts of dinosaurs, and they even move. You can wander through a field filled with over 60 massive dinos that roar and stir as you pass by. To further your Jurassic Park dreams, you can channel your inner Alan Grant and dig for real dinosaur remains in the boneyard. Daredevils can experience the Croc Walk, which takes you on a bridge over six ponds filled with alligators and crocodiles. View this post on Instagram Good morning from the Dino Park!
