It was a beautiful day as the Delmanor Elgin Mills seniors set off to the zoo for a full day of animals, exhibits and fun.

Anyone who has ever been to the zoo knows that it is quite a distance to get around to all of the exciting areas that the zoo has to offer.  With the careful planning of the Delmanor Elgin Mills recreation department, the event was planned on Seniors Day.  This day provided seniors over 65 with free admission to the zoo and a full day pass on the Zoo Mobile, the zoo's own in park train.

Residents aboard the Zoo Mobile!

What better way to take in all of the wonderful animals and sites of Toronto Zoo than aboard the Zoo Mobile!
