Scales Nature Park

edit this listing
Our wildlife conservation facility has been open to the public since our Grand Opening in the spring of 2010. Scales Nature Park provides unsurpassed opportunities to learn about native Canadian reptiles, amphibians, and fish.The live animals at Scales Nature Park are the core of our programming. There are usually about 300 animals of around 60 species in the centre. A large proportion of the collection are Canadian reptiles and amphibians, making this the most complete live collection of Canadian species to be found in the entire country! Having these animals on hand provides unparalleled opportunities for educational programming. Some examples of the animals include: the Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake, Ontario’s only venomous snake; Black Rat Snakes, Canada’s longest snake.
