Bowmanville Zoo, Camel Rides

We are sorry to disappoint the many people who were looking forward to this attraction, but unfortunately due to budget constraints & space limitations this event had to be cancelled.

New to this year's Sutton Fair are Camel Rides, brought to you by the Bowmanville Zoo.

Experiencing a camel caravan reminds us all that humans reliance on the internal combustion engine is only a recent historical phenomena. As you traverse high above the ground it harkens back to an age of the desert tribes of the Arabian Nights as they follow their nomadic existence. Experience what it is to be at one with an animal. Feel the muscles roll beneath you and the magnificent beauty of your beast of burden as you experience the ride of a lifetime. Two of the greatest challenges facing captive camels are boredom and physical activity to our camels. The cardio vascular benefits of regular exercise, has been well documented. In addition to the physical benefits to our ride animals, the interaction with the Bowmanville Zoo guests allows increased opportunities for mental enrichment as they meet and greet the many riders and have opportunities for gentle walks outside of their usual enclosures.

Zoo to You

Over 25 exotic animals are displayed in a very fascinating and very safe exhibit.

Every animal is contained in their own sealed aquarium with up to three handlers controlling everything that happens. The display is very interactive and educational. Each handler can take out one animal at a time to let people see, feel or hold them. In addition, the handlers will tell the visitors all about each of the animals and the visitors can ask as many questions as they would like. All of the animals are well-trained and very used to all of the commotion at fairs and other events. Interactive activity sheets are handed out to get the children even more involved in identifying and learning about the animals. We also provide a hand-sanitizing station for anyone who feels the need.
