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.
The Calgary Zoo is fully open after the devastating floods of 2013. However, starting in 2016, flood mitigation work is being done on the south side of the zoo, resulting in vehicular access only from the north entrance in Bridgeland. Inglewood residents with annual Zoo Passes can obtain a Pedestrian Pass to access the Zoo from the south security gate. Contact Councillor Carra’s office at 403-268-5330 or cclward9@calgary.ca. |
