Make unforgettable memories at the Calgary Zoo this summer

School’s out for two whole months and the heat from the summer sun has us riddled with anticipation to put some miles on the Calgary Zoo’s trails and pathways. Gather the fam, rally the troops, send the group texts, whatever you need to do to add an excursion to the Calgary Zoo on the summer bucket list.

Be emused (get it?!) and play tourist in your own city for an afternoon. If you’re headed to the Stampede grounds, save your entry ticket and show it at the zoo gates for $5.00 off general admission any day of Stampede!

CHOOSE YOUR DESTINATION

Alright, alpaca your bags for a family friendly, fun-filled adventure. The zoo’s habitats and destinations are stacked full of amazing wildlife creatures. Whether you’re wandering along forested pathways, admiring botanical gardens, trekking through tropical rainforests your journey is up to you! Explore the Land of Lemurs, Panda Passage, Canadian Wilds and more! Discovery awaits as you take on life-sized dinosaurs around every turn in the zoo’s Prehistoric Park. Choose your destination and spend all day with your furry and…scaly friends.

TAKE A BREAK

The zoo has many café and hideouts to choose from if you’re looking for a hot break. Caffeinate at Kitamba café or go for the gluten-friendly options at Penguin café. If that doesn’t have you calling up your besties or packing the diaper bag, we’re sure an afternoon at the Zoo’s Grazers restaurant should do the trick! Grazers is a fully licensed seasonal watering hole! Grab your significant otter and take advantage of the amazing daily deals and specials Grazers will be dishin’ up all summer long!

Not feelin’ the live animals or dino park?! How about sliding on into the Kinsmen Zooventure Playground or taking a ride on the wildlife carousel…sounds pretty good to us! Ride along with your fave animals and visit the zoo’s many playgrounds and kids zones to keep the fun going.
