With its animal park, numbering no less than 1,500 animals from all four corners of the world, its water park and its amusement park, the Granby Zoo continues to capture the imaginations of visitors young and old.


Dholes, Granby’s newest residents!

Seven magnificent dholes, wild dogs originating from central Asia, have moved into the Granby Zoo, into a completely new habitat built just for them! This species, a medium-sized cross between a wolf and a fox, sports a splendid rust brown coat and is known for endurance and an excellent sense of smell. Unfortunately, dholes are an endangered species because of the destruction of their natural habitat. That’s why the Granby Zoo is dedicated to using its expertise and resources to protect and conserve these mammals. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to admire this brand-new species, found nowhere else in Quebec, on site in all its glory!


With three parks on one site, there’s no end to the fun!

In addition to discovering exotic animals, visitors can cool off at the water park and have fun at the amusement park. With its Amazon-themed decor, its Adventure River – surprising riders at every turn – as well as its pools and water slides, the Amazoo Water Park will be a splash-hit for the whole family. The amusement park, with a fabulous decor, a Ferris wheel and rollercoasters, offers a healthy dose of thrills and adrenaline! Summer tickets, which include access to all three parks, let you take full advantage of the site. Don’t forget to pack your swimsuit!

The night wraps up in one of the comfortable mini-chalets where you’ll dream about your nighttime adventure at the zoo. And then the fun continues the next morning!
