The bus eases out of Montreal and the fields of Brome-Missisquoi roll past like pages in a field guide; by mid-morning you’re stepping onto compact paths where tropical birds call and hoofed animals turn their heads toward visitors. The route is straightforward — a curated day that pairs the zoo’s open-air enclosures with a morning farm stop for seasonal fruit picking and local produce.
Founded in 1953 by Granby mayor Pierre‑Horace Boivin, Zoo de Granby grew from a municipal menagerie into one of Canada’s largest regional zoos, home to more than 200 species. The site sits on glacially scoured terrain of southern Québec — low drumlins, fertile farmland, and wetlands that attract both migratory birds and locally bred conservation projects. Alongside the animals, the adjacent Amazoo water park and family amusement area reflect the region’s shift toward experiential, family-friendly tourism.
Expect broad walkways, mixed habitats from temperate enclosures to simulated tropical houses, and clear signage about animal care and breeding programs. The farm visit varies by season; if fruit is ripe you’ll get a hands-on pick, otherwise you’ll tour orchards and sample local cider. Bring comfortable shoes for several kilometers of walking, a light jacket for shade and breeze, and a small daypack for snacks.
Plan for an eight-hour day with bus transfers; restrooms and food outlets are available on site, but lines form on busy summer weekends. Follow zoo rules—no feeding animals, keep distance, and respect quiet viewing areas to get the most meaningful encounters.
