Families looking for a fun and educational activity during March Break can enjoy a special animal encounter at March Break with Zoo To You on March 20, 2026. Hosted at the Five Points Theatre in downtown Barrie, this engaging event gives visitors the chance to meet a fascinating collection of animals up close.

Presented by Zoo To You, the interactive experience introduces audiences to reptiles, mammals, and other exotic creatures in a safe and welcoming environment. The event combines education with entertainment, making it an ideal outing for families, young animal lovers, and curious minds of all ages.

Meet Amazing Animals Up Close

Unlike a traditional zoo visit, this interactive presentation allows guests to experience animals in a much more personal way. Participants will have the opportunity to see a variety of species while learning interesting facts about their habitats, behaviours, and unique characteristics.

Many of the animals featured in the show are well-socialised and accustomed to human interaction. Because they are handled daily by trained presenters, they are comfortable meeting audiences and participating in demonstrations. This helps create an experience that is both safe and engaging for visitors.

During the session, guests may even get the chance to hold or gently touch some of the animals, offering a memorable hands-on encounter that is rarely available in other settings.

Interactive Learning for All Ages

The event focuses on making learning about wildlife exciting and accessible. Throughout the presentation, knowledgeable handlers share fascinating information about each animal while encouraging audience participation.

Visitors can expect opportunities to:

• See and interact with live animals
• Feel the texture of scales, shells, or fur
• Take photos with select animals
• Learn interesting facts about wildlife and conservation
• Possibly assist with feeding an animal snack

These interactive moments help children connect with nature while gaining a better understanding of the animal kingdom.

Session Times and Tickets

Two sessions will be offered on March 20, 2026, giving families flexibility when planning their visit: 12:30 pm and .1:50 pm

Tickets are $10 per person, and availability is limited to maintain a comfortable and safe experience for both guests and animals. Advance ticket purchase is recommended, as events like this often sell out quickly during March Break.

The event will take place at the Five Points Theatre, located at 1 Dunlop Street West in Barrie, a popular venue for performances, community events, and cultural programming in the city.
