Magnetic Hill Zoo
The Magnetic Hill Zoo (French: le Zoo de Magnetic Hill, formerly the Magnetic Hill Game Farm) is a 16-hectare (40-acre) zoo located inside the Magnetic Hill Park, in Moncton, New Brunswick. This park also features the Magnetic Hill, Magic Mountain and the Wharf Village. The zoo has over 400 animals, making it the largest zoo in Atlantic Canada. In 2008, the zoo was rated fourth on a list of Canada's top ten zoos.
The zoo has been an accredited member of Canada's Accredited Zoos and Aquariums (CAZA) since 1993.
The Magnetic Hill Zoo began as the Magnetic Hill Game Farm in 1953. Originally, the game farm was home to orphaned and injured indigenous species like owls, bears, and deer. The city of Moncton took over the park in 1979 and began acquiring more exotic species which served as a catalyst for the renaming the farm to Magnetic Hill Zoo.[citation needed]
In 1995, the zoo began a 10-acre (4.0 ha) expansion called the African Oasis. At the same time, the zoo also expanded by adding the Primate Conservation Centre, frog bog, the koi pond, bird garden, the Camel-Zebra exhibit, and a children's playground.
In 1997–98, the Insectarium exhibit, a new entrance building, and new food facilities were built. The bears were moved to a new exhibit, which permitted them to live in a natural habitat for the first time. The zoo's education programs received an Achievement Award from CAZA- Canada’s Accredited Zoos and Aquariums.
A new reptile house exhibit, known as the Ecodome, was opened in 2003. The Ecodome was built on the site of the former bear "pit" exhibit. The Ecodome was awarded the Environmental Enrichment Award by CAZA. Exhibits for the barbary sheep and bison were also completed.
A new expanded Education Centre with three classrooms, washrooms, an office, kitchen, first aid room, and Discovery Centre were added in 2003.
Between 2003 and 2004, exhibits were expanded or refurbished, including habitats for the otters, wolves, watusi, and eland. A deer contact area was constructed.
