The Toronto Zoo opened an hour later than usual due to a watermain break at the front entrance on Wednesday.

The Zoo initially expected the repairs to take until at least noon, apologizing to visitors for the unexpected delay.

Around 9:50, they posted an update on their social media accounts that the Zoo would open at 10:00 a.m.

Great news! The water main issue has been repaired and your Zoo will be opening at 10:00am. Charles and the troop look forward to seeing you
