Calgary Zoo is Canada’s 2nd largest zoo offering over 1000 rare animals and a variety of birds, reptiles and amphibians in natural habitat enclosures.The Prehistoric Park displays 19 life size dinosaurs in habitats representing life 230 million to 64 million years ago. The dinosaurs, plant and rock formations are similar to those found in Alberta during the Mesozoic period.
I haven’t been here in twenty years and had a great time even though it was very hot. There should be more resting places and the maps need to be way more detailed. We were confused many times and signage could be a little more frequent so you know you are on the right path. Definitely will be going back soon! ❤️
I love zoos and I love this zoo, and of course, the monkeys, especially the Chimps, are my all time favorites. Their antics are hilarious and sometimes appalling, but always loads of laughs. I highly recommend this wonderful venue for old or young alike!!! Four thumbs up (if you count your big toes)!!!!
We have had a zoo pass for about three years and LOVE going here. Well worth the money. We go at LEAST once a month all year long. I feel each time is a different experience. We see different animal behavior or check out different parts that we haven’t seen in awhile. The staff are always engaging and answer all my questions. I feel the animals are well taken care of. My 3 year old daughter learns something new each time, gets some fresh air and exercise and we both have a good day. HIGHLY recommend.
Buying a flex pass was WAY more difficult than it needs to be. They print them there, but you can’t buy them there. You have to do it online. The mobile website is clunky, too many steps, and you have to fill out a bunch of personal information to purchase. Why not just sell them at the gate? The zoo itself was nice, animals were happy, easy to get around.
I went to calgary zoo today with my 2yr old as most of viewers & tripadvior reccomened.however, i had a worst exprienced ever!!!we were in the prehistoric park near entrance as i was taking picture of sign my son was touching(?) Dinosaur(if anyone has toddler, you know that it is impossible to control every movement!!!) Then one of the guy who WORKS AT THE ZOO came up scream /yelling!! I told him he is just toddler & doesnt need to yell. Then he said that he was talking to me. Because i was the adult!???!! I didnt come to the Calgary ZOO to get yelled bysomeone!!
