The City of Toronto has just announced that Riverdale Farm and High Park Zoo will be reopening their outdoor grounds to the public on Saturday, June 19.

At Riverdale farm, you'll find a ton of adorable farm animals and it's open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Meanwhile, the High Park zoo features llamas, reindeer, the cutest cows ever, and so much more. The zoo is open daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Both attractions have free admission.

At this stage of Ontario's reopening plan, there will still be health orders in place. Only outdoor areas of the farm and zoo will be open and while reservations aren't required, capacity will be limited to 15% capacity at both.

Only one-way foot traffic will be allowed, physical distancing is required, and there will be fences and signs to help control the flow of visitors.

If you love animals and it's been far too long since you got to be around them, this is officially your time to shine.
