From the splendor of the Rocky Mountains to the heart of Destination Africa, The Calgary Zoo takes you to see almost 900 animals from around the world. Trek through the gorilla’s rainforest, safari over the Savannah to watch the hippos swim, or climb the Canadian Wilds to see a grizzly bear. Cool off and get beak to nose with 4 species of penguins in our popular Penguin Plunge or visit endangered red pandas and amur tigers in Eurasia! Wind down your trip with a walk through our fragrant Dorothy Harvie Gardens or sit with the butterflies in ENMAX Conservatory. You'll love knowing that every visit helps protect endangered animals at home and in the wild.
NEW in 2017 is the unique and immersive permanent Land of Lemurs exhibit. Coming in 2018 are the iconic giant pandas!

We visited out of season and a lot of the animal areas were closed for refurbishment but as we explored further it got better. We enjoyed the penguin area in particular. One of the penguins jumped onto the edge of their inside enclosure which was...More

The Calgary Zoo on a warm, sunny day, is the perfect outing. But then again we are Zoo aficionados. We went for a family activity and found lots to do. This is a large, well laid out zoo not far from the center of Calgary,...More

This is amazing place, where you will spend hours and even don't notice that. I recommend to check in advance dailies programms of animals feeding and come in advance to enjoy the show.

Took kids to my hometown for the first time. And of course the zoo.... Great experience and not as expensive as I was anticipating. Entry fee was high, but while we were in there shops and beverage stops weren’t AS bad. Still pricey.

Spouse and I visited when we arrived a day early for a Canadian Rockies tour. We have been to several super zoos - Bronx, San Diego, Capetown, London, Sydney and this is as good (our opinion). We concentrated our time there on the penguins and...More

Amazing as always i thought it being cold out the animals would be hibernating or not out. I was cold walking around but the animals were active and seem to enjoy the cooler temps

My wife and I took a Rocky Mountaineer trip, and while in Calgary we visited the zoo. It is central to Calgary, and is easy to get to, but in late September it was winding down. Apparently the "season" ended, and some attractions and most...More

It's best to go right when they open. For one thing, most of the animals are more active in the morning and you will often get a chance to witness them being fed. Also, going first thing in the morning means you're one of... More

Hi Matthew- our zoo doesn't focus on marine life, so we don't care for squids here. However we do have a rainforest water habitat with many different species of cichlids. If you're looking forward to water based habitats, we... More
