There are countless things to do at the Calgary Zoo. Highlights include the Penguin Plunge, Destination Africa, the Conservatory & Gardens, and don’t forget dinosaurs in the Prehistoric Park. Giant Pandas will be arriving in 2018 for a five-year visit. The Zoo also hosts several special events throughout the year, including the annual Zoolights in December.
