Canada’s Only Registered Non-Profit Reptile Sanctuary. Canada’s Dinosaur Park was established in 1998. In 2001, the sanctuary became a training facility for all Canadian Federal Wildlife Officers as well as several other government agencies. In 2009, the sanctuary became a not-for-profit organization and Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) registered charity* in order to gain public support. The sanctuary focuses its efforts on the protection of the world’s reptile species. Today Canada’s Dinosaur Park is the leader in its field – actively participating in internationally regulated conservation programs and is primarily devoted to education.
We provide visitors with the opportunity to view over 200 reptiles in climate-controlled conditions. Each enclosure presents reptiles in their natural setting and features specific information about each species.
These animals act as ambassadors for their species, allowing visitors to safely get close to reptiles that they would not likely see in the wild. We work passionately to protect all reptile species and maintain a large number of animals that are not on display; so that our animals can be rotated on and off display in order to reduce stress.
All of our reptiles are rescued animals from the pet trade and many others are endangered species that have been seized by Federal Wildlife Officers. These are animals that cannot be returned to the wild for various reasons. Some of our endangered animals are in regulated breeding programs to help save species from extinction (SSP).
Special Note: We do not breed, buy or sell animals. We are a sanctuary for rescued reptiles, not a breeding facility.
Canada’s Dinosaur Park has quickly become a world-class attraction.

My daughter loooove this place! It's our second time this year and there are few addition from last year. Looking forward for their croc walk though. I just hope there will be less T rex and show more of other kind of dinos and also some not famous dino doesn't have a name. Overall we'll def come back!

Took the kids and we had a great time going through the drive through dinosaur park. You can see a huge pile of anamatronic dinasaurs moving their heads and tails.

As a family, we loved our visit to the Dino's park. It is well organized with a lot of dinosaurs. Many of the dinosaurs were animated and my kids loved that. The park is must go in the summer!

Loved it so much, they opened up the walking path again, and the reptile zoo is kind of small but still pretty incredible! The "croc-walk" was fun even though most of them were inside! 2 tips, don't walk your littles all the way through the souvenir shop, and bring cash for the chip truck!

Loved the drive thru Dino drive. Lots of cool and well made animatronics, and not just dinosaurs! Enlarged bugs, birds, and even stuff like crocodiles. All through the forest.
The gift shop was well stocked as well!
