Puzzle your way through Calgary’s largest escape experience - Locked Zoo! This fun-filled physically distanced adult’s only event will challenge you to find clues throughout the zoo to save species. All proceeds support the Calgary Zoo and wildlife conservation.
Locked Zoo: Rare Breeds (a NEW experience!) - August 12 & 13 (both adults only)
Did you know that some cell phone parts use coltan? Coltan is an ore mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo - where gorillas live.
The deforestation and mining associated with coltan production has impacted and displaced gorillas, moving them closer to extinction. Recycling and extending the life of electronic devices reduces the demand for coltan mining. When we lessen the demand for coltan, we are helping to protect gorillas in the wild!
Gorillas are on the line - will you help us answer the call?
Catch the morning light and the animals at their finest. Shutterbugs ages 16+ will be able to visit select areas of the zoo to capture stunning photography for a premium ticket and minimal crowds.
FOCUSED: Canadian Wilds - August 8 | FOCUSED: Eurasia - August 23
If you’ve spent time at the Calgary Zoo, or on this website, you know that the zoo is more than just a place to see animals. Like accredited zoos and aquariums across the world, we are a force for animal care research and conservation. Here at the zoo we’re passionate about wildlife conservation. And we know that it takes good science to successfully protect endangered species.
