Moose, beavers and maple, oh my! Kick off the long weekend in red-and-white style with family and friends at the zoo. Cool off with Canadian cuisine like maple Nanaimo bar sundaes (exclusively available on Canada Day) and thrill the little ones with Canada Day coloring pages. There will be biofact stations for all ages to explore and a photo-op with a larger-than-life beaver to experience and more - all while supporting the conservation of our nationally treasured species. Included with day admission or memberships. 

Bring on the long weekends at ZOONIGHTS! We're keeping the zoo open late during the long weekends throughout the summer so you can enjoy your favourite animals and the beautiful zoo grounds a little longer. Whether you make it a date night or you bring the whole family, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Included with day admission.

Get exclusive morning access to meet our newest addition.  Bring your family and friends down for an early morning pancake breakfast, gorilla interpretive talk and exclusive visit to our troop  - all before the Zoo opens for the day.  This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about gorillas, what makes them so wonderful to watch, why they are endangered and of course the who’s who in our troop.  

Swing by the zoo for a wild brunch buffet every Sunday from January 16, 2022 to November 13, 2022! Prepared by our incredible catering team and filled with all your breakfast favourites, there's a reason Sunday Safari Brunch has been a staple of zoo dining for years!

An evening to support local artists and appreciate how nature inspires us all. Unique art of all kinds – paint, photo, sculpture, chalk, musical and performance will be paired with animals around the zoo. 

Calling all seafood lovers! We’re bringing a bit of the east coast to our doorstep with a good ole east coast seafood boil at the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo. With a laid-back atmosphere, good food, good music, and good company, we have all the makings of our very own ‘kitchen party’ - without the kitchen of course.

Join us for an evening full of wine tasting , food pairings, classical music, activities and best of all … no kids! Wander the zoo with a glass in hand at this twilight event. The zoo transforms into a peaceful escape – perfect for a girls’ night out, or a romantic date.
