Calgary Zoo

Established in 1929, the Calgary Zoo has long been a beloved destination for both locals and visitors. Nestled within botanical gardens that feature a rain forest and butterfly enclosure, the zoo is Canada’s second largest, housing over 1,000 animals from a diverse array of species. As you wander through the grounds, you can encounter creatures from around the world, each in carefully designed habitats that mimic their natural environments. Today, the zoo continues to offer an enriching experience, combining wildlife conservation with educational programs.
