Access 2 program

The Toronto Zoo has partnered with Easter Seals Canada and is now a participant in the Access2 program. The Access2 program provides a dignified and positive entertainment experience for people with disabilities who require the support of an attendant. Program participants receive Access2 wallet cards which allow simple identification, removing the onus to explain their need for an attendant. While you do not need to be a subscriber to the Access2 program to receive the People With Disability (PWD) admission package, upon presentation of Access2 card or self-declaration of disability with Guest Services staff, cardholder or person with disability receives 50% admission discount while their support worker receives complimentary admission.

In addition to the Toronto Zoo the Access 2 card is accepted at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Casa Loma, the CN Tower, Ontario Place, the Ontario Science Centre, the Royal Ontario Museum, as well as Cineplex Entertainment, Empire Theatres and Landmark Cinemas.
