From the splendor of the Rocky Mountains to the heart of Destination Africa, the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo takes you to see over 1,000 animals from around the world. Trek through the African Rainforest to see the gorilla troop, safari over the African Savannah to watch the hippos swim, or climb the Canadian Wilds to see grizzly bears! Cool off and practice your waddle with 4 species of penguins in our popular Penguin Plunge or visit endangered red pandas and Amur tigers in Exploration Asia! Wind down your trip with a walk through our fragrant Dorothy Harvie Gardens or sit with the butterflies (seasonal) in the ENMAX Conservatory. You'll love knowing that every visit helps protect endangered animals at home and in the wild. NEW in 2021 is the unique and immersive permanent Gateway to Asia building featuring Komodo dragons, white-handed gibbons, and a Malayan tapir. Coming in December 2023 is the return of an iconic Canadian species - polar bears!

Tips

"Always worth a day trip with a picnic for families or dates"

"Hippos mark their territory by whispering sweet nothings... make sure you get as close as possible and be at the front of the line... ;)"

"Zoolights!"

"This is the world famous Calgary Zoo. One of the best Zoos in North America!"

"Visited the new Enmax sponsored indoor garden facility"

"Canada secures giant panda loan from China and will be shared by three zoos -- Toronto, Calgary and Granby, Que. People love giant pandas, and everybody's going to want to see them. Read more:"

"The line up for penguins is insane right now. 90+ minutes so be sure to get there for opening."

"Don't even bother with the dinosaur section. There is nothing but a handful of statues and a lot of fake rock."
