Two Rivers Wildlife Park

Two Rivers Wildlife Park houses non-releasable native species—black bears, moose, lynx, foxes, and birds of prey—in large enclosures along a walking loop on the Mira River. The park also offers picnic areas, a playground, kayak rentals, and seasonal events. It is a popular rainy-day or family outing from Sydney.

Highlights

• Large enclosures for black bears, moose, lynx, red and arctic foxes, and resident birds of prey — all non-releasable rescues.
• An interpretive walking loop that brings you within metres of species rarely seen in the wild.
• A petting-farm area with goats, sheep, and rabbits — popular with younger kids.
• Mira River frontage with picnic tables and a kayak/canoe rental in season.
• Seasonal events including Christmas-light walks in December.

Plan your visit

• Allow two to three hours; longer with young kids or kayak time.
• Open seasonally, generally May through October, plus winter holiday events.
• Modest admission; reduced rates for kids and families.
• Wheelchair-accessible main loop, though some side paths are gravel.
• Bug spray helps in the wooded sections.

Combine it with

• A Mira River paddle or a swim at Mira River Provincial Park nearby.
• The Marconi National Historic Site in Glace Bay.
• A drive to Louisbourg for an afternoon at the fortress.
