Calgary Zoo

Discover Life On Earth at the Calgary Zoo!

From the splendour of the Rocky Mountains to the heart of Destination Africa, The Calgary Zoo takes you to see over 1,000 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 for a grizzly bear encounter!  Finish your world tour with a trip back in time in the Prehistoric Park or soothe your senses in nearly 6 acres of our Botanical Gardens.  Relax in the new ENMAX Conservatory and enjoy the butterflies and seasonal displays.

Open 9am to 5pm year round (closed Christmas Day).
